Long Way Home chords by The Monkees

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Difficulty: Novice

Verse 1:
C             Dm    F
The other night I took the long way home
  G         C
Out past the old schoolyard
C             Dm F
It's funny how you keep it all inside
G         C
Dreams they do die hard

Verse 2:
C              Dm    F
I closed my eyes and I could see your face
G         C
Somewhere back in time
C             Dm  F
One summer night a million miles ago
G         C
Back when you were mine

Chorus:
C               Dm      F
Say yes, say no, say that I'm grabbing at shadows
  G            C
But don't carve the words in stone
C
I know it's late
       Dm    F
But can't you see I was only
G          C
Taking the long way home

Verse 3:
C             Dm     F
Sometimes its easy to get all wrapped up
  G      C
In trying to be free
C               Dm   F
And all those dreams I sailed away to find
   G         C
Were right in front of me

Chorus:
C               Dm      F
Say yes, say no, say that I'm grabbing at shadows
  G            C
But don't carve the words in stone
C
I know it's late
       Dm    F
But can't you see I was only
G          C
Taking the long way home

Bridge:
       Dm       G     C
Although the letters stopped many years ago
   Am      D       G
I'll show you even time could not keep this heart
   A
from letting go

Verse 4:
D             Em    G
The other night I took the long way home
  A         D
Out past the old schoolyard
D             Em  G
It's funny how you keep it all inside
A         D
Dreams they do die hard

Chorus:
D               Em     G
Say yes, say no, say that I'm grabbing at shadows
  A            D
But don't leave me here all alone
D
One of these days
       Em    G
You're gonna see I was only
A          D
Taking the long way home

Chorus:
D    Em G
Say yes, say no
  A            D A
But don't leave me here all alone
D
One of these days
       Em    G
You're gonna see I was only
A          D
Taking the long way home
