INTRO
E A7
This mornin' when I woke,
E A7
You'd gone and left a note.
E B7
Said you'd be at your mother's for a while.
E A7
I finished work,
E A7
And called you on the phone,
F#m B7 E A7 E
Then I took the long way home.
E A7
I read your list of jobs,
E A7
Wash the dishes, walk the dog.
E B7
I'll get around to them real soon.
E A7
You said we needed bread,
E A7
I hit the tackle shop instead.
F#m B7 E A7 E
Then I took the long way home.
A7
I'm taking the long way home,
E
I ain't in no hurry.
A7
The fish is out, the cat's been fed,
B7 C7 B7
And I don't have to worry
A7 E A7
'Bout bein' on a promise that I've already blown,
F#m B7 E A7 E
'Cause tonight I'm takin' the long way home.
E A7
Called in to my mate Stu,
E A7
To sample his home brew.
E B7
Before too long we started rambling on.
E A7
Well I got up to leave,
E A7
But his wife she took my keys.
F#m B7 E A7 E
Sure was a long way home.
A7
I'm taking the long way home,
E
I ain't in no hurry.
A7
The bird is out, the cat's been fed,
B7 C7 B7
And I don't have to worry
A7 E A7
'Bout bein' on a promise that I've already blown,
F#m B7 E A7 E
'Cause tonight I'm takin' the long way home.

GUITAR SOLO
E A7
Well I checked my answer phone,
E A7
You said you was comin' home.
E B7
I thought I had till Sunday afternoon.
E A7
I haven't done a thing,
E A7
And I can feel that rolling pin.
F#m B7 E A7 E
I might take the long way home.
A7
I'm taking the long way home,
E
I ain't in no hurry.
A7
The dog is out, the cat's been fed,
B7 C7 B7
And I don't have to worry
A7 E A7
'Bout bein' on a promise that I've already blown,
F#m B7
'Cause tonight I'm takin' the long way,
Dbm A7
Might just be the wrong way,
F#m B7 E A7 E A7 B7 E
Tonight I'm takin' the long way home.
