LONG WAY HOME (Tom Waits)/ Norah Jones
I watched a live video and this is how Norah Jones plays it. She hammers on the 2
string/fret on G and Em. Hammer on the 3 in C
capo on 2nd
VERSE 1:
[ch]G[/ch]
Well I stumbled in the darkness
I'm lost and alone
[ch]G[/ch]
Though I said I'd go before us
[ch]Em[/ch]
And show the way back home
[ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]
There a light up ahead
[ch]C[/ch]
I can't hold on very long
[ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]
Forgive me pretty baby but I always take the long way home
Pause
[ch]G[/ch]
Money's just something you throw
Off the back of a train
[ch]G[/ch]
Got a head full of lightning
[ch]Em[/ch]
A hat full of rain
[ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]
And I know that I said
[ch]C[/ch]
I'd never do it again
[ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]
And I love you sweet baby but I always take the long way home
VERSE 3:
[ch]G[/ch]
I put food on the table
And roof overhead
[ch]G[/ch]
But I'd trade it all tomorrow
[ch]Em[/ch]
For the highway instead
[ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]
Watch your back, keep your eyes shut tight
[ch]C[/ch]
Your love's the only thing I've ever known
[ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]
One thing for sure pretty baby I always take the long way home
BRIDGE:
[ch]D[/ch][ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]C[/ch] [ch]D[/ch]
mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm, mmmmm
VERSE 4:
[ch]G[/ch]
You know I love you baby
More than the whole wide world
[ch]G[/ch]
You are my woman
[ch]Em[/ch]
I know you are my pearl
[ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]
Let's go out past the party lights
[ch]C[/ch]
Where we can finally be alone
[ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]
Come with me...and we can take the long way home
[ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]
Mm mm mmm, come with me, together we can take the long way home
[ch]C[/ch] [ch]G[/ch] [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch]
Mm mm mmm, come with me, together we can take the long way home
