INTRO
           E                           A7 
This mornin' when I woke,
             E                             A7 
You'd gone and left a note.
           E                                                             B7 
Said you'd be at your mother's for a while.
 E                     A7 
  I finished work,
         E                                 A7 
And called you on the phone,
 F#m                         B7             E       A7   E 
Then I took the long way home.
     E                                 A7 
I read your list of jobs,
                   E                               A7 
Wash the dishes, walk the dog.
 E                                                         B7 
  I'll get around to them real soon.
         E                           A7 
You said we needed bread,
                     E                         A7 
I hit the tackle shop instead.
 F#m                         B7             E       A7   E 
Then I took the long way home.
                               A7 
I'm taking the long way home,
 E 
I ain't in no hurry.
         A7 
The fish is out, the cat's been fed,
         B7           C7           B7 
And I don't have to worry
             A7                                           E                       A7 
'Bout bein' on a promise that I've already blown,
                   F#m                                   B7             E       A7   E 
'Cause tonight I'm takin' the long way home.
               E                         A7 
Called in to my mate Stu,
       E                             A7 
To sample his home brew.
     E                                                                 B7 
Before too long we started rambling on.
           E                     A7 
Well I got up to leave,
                 E                               A7 
But his wife she took my keys.
 F#m               B7             E       A7   E 
Sure was a long way home.
                               A7 
I'm taking the long way home,
 E 
I ain't in no hurry.
         A7 
The bird is out, the cat's been fed,
         B7           C7           B7 
And I don't have to worry
             A7                                           E                       A7 
'Bout bein' on a promise that I've already blown,
                   F#m                                   B7             E       A7   E 
'Cause tonight I'm takin' the long way home.

               E                                 A7 
Well I checked my answer phone,
                   E                           A7 
You said you was comin' home.
     E                                                           B7 
I thought I had till Sunday afternoon.
     E                           A7 
I haven't done a thing,
                     E                                 A7 
And I can feel that rolling pin.
 F#m                             B7             E       A7   E 
  I might take the long way home.
                               A7 
I'm taking the long way home,
 E 
I ain't in no hurry.
         A7 
The dog is out, the cat's been fed,

And I don't have to worry
             A7                                           E                       A7 
'Bout bein' on a promise that I've already blown,
                   F#m                                   B7 
'Cause tonight I'm takin' the long way,
 Dbm                             A7 
Might just be the wrong way,
     F#m                                   B7             E       A7   E   A7   B7   E 
Tonight I'm takin' the long way home.
