The Long Way Round Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

DI stood and Bmlooked across the Awater

DI had to Bmget to the other Aside

GBecause I Dknew that you'd be waitin

GI didn't Bmwant to take the Along way Dround.

The captain said the ship was leavin

And that we'd better get on board

I settled down to watch the sunrise

And wondered if I'd see the sun go down.

GmThe sea was Frough and the wind was D♯howlin

GmBut I was Flaughing all the Cway

GmI didn't Fcare about the D♯weather

GBecause I Dknew that you'd be waitin

DI didn't Bmwant to take the Along way Dround

Then a stranger sat beside me

It was my brother in disguise

He said he knew where I was goin

He asked me why I took the long way round.

(SOLO)

The sea was rough and the wind was howlin

But I was laughing all the way

I didn't listen to the stranger

Because I knew that you'd be waitin

I didn't want to take the long way round

At last, I came to my destination

The stranger turned and walked away

He didn't know where he was goin

He said he had to take the long way round.

I stood and looked across the water

I thought of what I'd left behind

Because I knew that you'd be waitin

I didn't want to take the long way round.

Because I knew that you'd be waitin

I didn't want to take the long way round.
