The Long Journey Home.
Rodney Crowell.
Album: Tarpaper Sky.

D                                            A
We ran off chasing rainbows, 'Neath the blue Montana sky,
            Bm7            A              D
And we self proclaimed our freedom with a roar, 
                                       A
We crossed those raging rivers, And we drank the taverns dry,
       Bm7             A                D
And we bowed our heads to legends, gone before.

Chorus: 	  	 
 	  	 G             A            Dmaj7 D
Are you ready for the long journey home, 
    G                     A               D    A D
The flatlands, swamps and bayou’s in your bones,
    G                  A
The simple life tastes sweeter now, 
    D               G             D             A            D
You have no need to roam, are you ready for the long journey home?

D                                        A
The wind down off the Yellowstone, blows coal trains off their tracks,
        Bm7           A                D    A
And the water springs eternal from the fire,
D                                    A
An eagle flies at sunrise, 'cross an aspen grove and back,
        Bm7                A           D
And the moonlight brings a blue coyote choir.

Chorus:
        G             A            Dmaj7 D
Are you ready for the long journey home, 
    G                     A               D     A
The flatlands, swamps and bayou’s in your bones,
    G                  A
The simple life tastes sweeter now, 
    D               G             D             A            D
You have no need to roam, are you ready for the long journey home?

Break;  G6 Bm7 D A7 A A7 Bm7 A6 D A Bm A D

D                                        A
In dreams of mile high cotton fields, we once ran barefoot through,
   Bm7              A               D
My dead drunk Uncle Fireball growls these words,
                  A                  Bm7               A
"Blood don't make a family, boy, and I've got news for you,
Bm7                A                  D
Rattlesnakes don't sing like speckled birds"

Chorus:
        G             A            D   A7
Are you ready for the long journey home, 
    G                     A               D    A6
The flatlands, swamps and bayou’s in your bones,
    G                  A
The simple life tastes sweeter now, 
    D               Gmaj7 Em7     D             A            D    
You have no need to roam, are you ready for the long journey home?

G6      Bm7           A            D
Are you ready for the long journey home?

Outro: A A6 Bm A7 D A6 A7 Bm A D
