Intro: D  Em  D  Em  A 

verse 1: 
 D                               Em 
Sitting by the window of this broken-down hotel, 
  D                                Em 
Trying to write a letter just to show you that I'm well, 
               D                                Em 
But I've been watching all the people as they cross the marketplace, 
      D                                          Em 
And though there really is no reason, I've been looking for your face. 

D Bm Em A It's such a long way home, D Bm Em A It's such a long way home, D Bm Em A It's such a long way...
verse 2: D Em Standing by the aeroplane she held me in her arms, D Em And then she whispered 'oh dear lord don't let him come to any harm' D Em And as we turned to fly away I saw her standing on her own, D Em It seemed her hand was waving not goodbye but 'please come home'.
D Bm Em A It's such a long way home, D Bm Em A It's such a long way home, D Bm Em A It's such a long way...
Bridge: G F#m Oh so many people have to travel away, Em D From the ones that they love and they need, G F#m But I want to tell you that all your life, Em A You can depend on me. verse 3: D Em Far away a saxophone lingers on a tune, D Em And it's the kind of song that someone wrote for lovers and a moon, D Em And as the band begins to play it, with a shock I realize, D Em That it's a song we sang together and it nearly makes me cry.
D Bm Em A It's such a long way home, D Bm Em A It's such a long way home, D Bm Em A G D It's such a long way such a long way home.
