[Bb] City of [Gm] angels was bright and [C] bright Sitting [Dm] scene for every [Bb] night.
Standing on the [Gm] edge of [C] tranquility Spent [Bb] the [Gm] moment to take in the [C] view.
Shimmering [Dm] with the rhythm of [Bb] the blue Sun going [F] down, [C] sunset low-key.
[Bb] There were people you [Gm] knew but never [C] met Masters and [Dm] maids slipped through the [Bb] net.
Friends of [Gm] friends of a [C] certain kind [Bb] Talk of the [Gm] town, a line of [C] news in the gallery.
[Dm] With a touch of house, [Bb] all you need is a [A] six-blade knife.
[Dm] It's a long way back, it's a [F] long way [G] back to Deffert [Dm] Town.
Such a long way back, it's a [F] long way [G] back to Deffert Town.
[Bb] Here she has you [Gm] go, you can't [C] decline Putting it [Dm] down, the line of [Bb] time.
Don't move too [Gm] fast, better [C] take it slow Time [Bb] is [Gm] dark, take your love that [Am] clock.
[C] Can't get [Dm] by without a few [Bb] knocks One by [F] one, [C] oh by blow.
It [Bb] was cold and [Gm] green in a hotel [C] room Songs from [Dm] above like red perfume.
[Bb] Fresh off the [Gm] shelf, [C] now they're gone [Bb] Nothing [Gm] now will ever be the [C] same.
Goodness, he [Dm] helped by another [Bb] name It depends who's [A] had it here wrong.
It's [Dm] a long way back, it's a [F] long way [G] back to Deffert [Dm] Town.
Such a long way back, [F] [G] it's a long way back to Deffert [Bb] Town.
From New York [Gm] City to [C] Monterey From New [Dm] Orleans to Frisco [Bb] Bay.
On every street, [Gm] [C] in every town [Bb] Out on the [Gm] highway, on with the [C] show.
So [Dm] much I just didn't [Bb] know So I breathed it in, [A] took it down.

[Gm] [C] [Dm] [Bb] .
[F] [C] [Bb].
Once there was a [Gm] river, now it's a [C] stream Looking [Dm] back, it felt like a [Bb] dream.
Memory's lingering [Gm] in [C] your heart [Bb] But life is [Gm] short as time [C] flies.
Take a [Dm] look through a child's [Bb] eyes Now's the [F] time to [C] make a new start.
[Dm] It's a long way back, it's a [F] long way [G] back to Deffert [Dm] Town.
Such a long way back [F] [G] to Deffert [Dm] Town.
[F] Such [G] [Dm] .
a long way back [F] [G] to Deffert Town.
[Dm] [F] Such [G] [Dm] .
