Walking The Long Miles Home

	G
Oh the	last bus has gone or maybe I’m wrong

	D7
It just	doesn’t exist

	G
And the	words that flew between me and you

	D7
I must be	crossed off your list

	C	D	G	C	D	G
So I’m	walking the	long miles	home,	I don’t	mind losing	you

	C	D	Em
In	fact I feel	better each	step of the way

	C	D	Em
In the	dark I	rehearse all the	right things to say

	C	D	Em	A
I’ll be	home, I’ll be	sober by	break of	day

C	D	G
Walking the	long miles	home

Not a soul is around as I put more ground

Between me and you

And the whole town’s asleep or maybe they’re deep

In the old "voulez vous"

So I’m walking the long miles home and I don’t mind losing you

Got the moon there for company each step of the way

And the rhythm in my shoes keep the blues all away

When you ride Shanks’s Pony you don’t have to pay

Walking the long miles home

Oh the party was grand but I hadn’t quite planned

On staying so long

And while you accused me, the hours confused me

And my friends had all gone

So I’m walking the long miles home and I don’t mind losing you

Ah there’s nobody out but the cop on the beat

He’s snoring so loud I don’t hear my feet

I just laugh to myself and move off down the street

Walking the long miles home

I’m walking the long miles home

Oh walking the long miles home
