INTRO: G

    G                            C          G
The clubs are all closed and the ladies are leavin'
                      A7           D
There's nobody nobody knows on the street
  G                           C           G
A few stranded souls standin' cold at the station
    C          G         D          G
And nowhere to go but to bed and to sleep


CHORUS:
C                        G
Lord would ya look at ya now that you're here ain't ya
D                           G               A7
Proud of your peers and the long way you've come
    C                         G
All alone all the way on your own who's to say
            D                    A7
That you've thrown it away for a song
           G           D            
Boy you've sure come a long way from home


(KEY CHANGE TO A)

        A                   D       A
So it's so long but so many so far behind ya
                              B7        E
Fair weather friends that you no longer know
    A                         D         A
You still got the same lonely songs to remind ya
   D           A            E       A
Of someone you seemed to be so long ago


CHORUS:
D                        A
Lord would ya look at ya now that you're here ain't ya
E                           A               B7
Proud of your peers and the long way you've come
    D                         A
All alone all the way on your own who's to say
            E                    B7
That you've thrown it away for a song
           A           E        A
Boy you've sure come a long way from home
