[Intro] G D G C D Em Am D G D G C G C G [Verse 1]
            G                        D          G
Well, we've come a long way since we last shook hands

C           D           Em
Still got a long way to go

   Am                               D
We couldn't see the flowers when we last shook hands

G                             D            G
Couldn't see the flowers on account of the snow
[Interlude] C G C G [Verse 2]
G                         D               G
What did you do with your burden and your cross

        C            D               Em
Did you carry it yourself or did you crack

Am                    D
You and I know that a burden and a cross

    G                  D         G
Can only be carried on one man's back
[Interlude] C G C G [Verse 3]
G               D         G
  All my life I wanted to roam

   C         D           Em
To go to the ends of the earth

        Am                          D
But the earth really ends where you started to roam

G                     D         G
You and I know what a circle is worth
[Interlude] C G C G [Verse 4]
G                    D         G
Let's drink a cup to what went down

        C        D         Em
There's not much left to reveal

  Am                            D
I think I changed my mind after what went down

      G                      D      G
As to who in the end got the better deal
[Interlude] C G C G [Verse 5]
G                         D       G
Give me your hand for the parting touch

C           D                 Em
  Fare thee well and thanks a lot

  Am                             D
I know that we promised we would keep in touch

    G                      D       G
But you and I know that we both forgot
[Verse 6]
          G                        D          G
Oh, we've come a long way since we last shook hands

C           D           Em
Still got a long way to go

   Am                               D
We couldn't see the flowers when we last shook hands

G                             D            G
Couldn't see the flowers on account of the snow
[Verse 7]
          G                        D          G
Ah, we've come a long way since we last shook hands

C           D           Em
Still got a long way to go

      Am                               D
Well, couldn't see the flowers when we last shook hands

G                             D            G
Couldn't see the flowers on account of the snow
