The Long Way Home Chords & Tabs
LONG WAY HOME (Tom Waits)/ Norah Jones
I watched a live video and this is how Norah Jones plays it. She hammers on the 2
string/fret on G and Em. Hammer on the 3 in C
capo on 2nd
VERSE 1:
G
Well I stumbled in the darkness
I'm lost and alone
G
Though I said I'd go before us
Em
And show the way back home
C G
There a light up ahead
C
I can't hold on very long
G D G
Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the long way home
Pause
G
Money's just something you throw
Off the back of a train
G
Got a head full of lightning
Em
A hat full of rain
C G
And I know that I said
C
I'd never do it again
G D G
And I love you sweet baby but I always take the long way home
VERSE 3:
G
I put food on the table

And roof overhead
G
But I'd trade it all tomorrow
Em
For the highway instead
C G
Watch your back, keep your eyes shut tight
C
Your love's the only thing I've ever known
G D G
One thing for sure pretty baby I always take the long way home

More than the whole wide world

You are my woman
Em
I know you are my pearl
C G
Let's go out past the party lights

Where we can finally be alone
G D G
Come with me...and we can take the long way home
