Chords for Colin Hay - Did You Just Take The Long Way Home (eTown webisode #790)

_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] I _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [Gb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] don't really know consciously what _ _ affects you, but I think that if you're a songwriter,
_ _ I don't really [A] understand the process still.
I just like doing it.
[Dbm] So you get affected
by everything.
Ever since I was 14 years old, I just like to scribble down ideas and mess
around on the [Bm] guitar and make up songs.
So that's kind of what [E] I do.
And so [Eb] I don't get
too analytical about _ what influences that, but I'm sure that everything does.
And I just
try and write the best songs I can. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
[Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ I'm [Bb] always here where you can find [Ab] _ me. _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ I'm up here [Bb] where the air is pure [Ab] and true. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ The
[Bb] cleverness of words just binds [Ab] me. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ They [Bb] won't help me to get over [Ab] you. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ Maybe [F] you got lost at the five [Bb] ways.
Took [Gm] a wrong turn just like _ [Cm] always.
But did you
[F] just take the long [Bb] way home? _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ I hear the wind [Bb] blow through the [Ab] pine trees. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] I watch the frozen
[Bb] lights come into [Ab] view. _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Bb] Stars above, they don't align [Ab] me. _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ They only [Bb] shine a dim light [Ab] on _ you.
_ [Eb] _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ Maybe [F] you got lost at the five [Bb] ways.
Took [Gm] a wrong turn just like [Cm] always.
_ But did you
[F] just take the long [Bb] way home? _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ I want to hear you walk up right behind _ me. _ _ _
_ _ _ But the dawn [Bb] has come and it's done [Ab] me in. _ _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ Could it be [F] you don't love [Bb] me?
For who [Gm] I am or what I could [Cm] be.
And from where [F] I am it's
such a long [Bb] way down.
_ [Gm] _ _
_ _ [Cm] _ _ Maybe [F] you got lost at the five [Bb] ways.
Took [Gm] a wrong turn just like [Cm] always.
_ But did you
[F] just take the long [Bb] way home? _ _ _
_ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ Did you [Bb] just take the long way [Ab] home? _ _ _ _
