[Intro] Ab Bb Eb Eb/Bb Ab Bb Eb Eb/Bb Ab Bb Eb Eb/Bb Eb Eb/Bb Eb F7 Ab Bb Bbsus4 [Verse 1]
Eb     G7 Cm7                     Eb
In my life    I've known lots of sorrow

Ab                          Cm
In my time, I've suffered great pain

Eb          G                Cm7    Eb F7 Ab
My poor heart has often been mended

F7                    Bb
But only to be broken again

     Eb           G           Cm7
As I face each new day, ever dreaming

Ab                   F7            B
Of a love that will last for all time

Eb      G7           Cm7  F7
Yes, I wonder as I often wonder

Ab               Bb          Eb
How long will I wander this time?
Ab Bb [Verse 2]
        Eb      G7            Cm7
As I pause to recall the few good times

   Ab            C7     Fm
My memory grows hazy and dim

Fm7              G7           Cm7
Sometimes I can bring back the faces

        F7                       Bb7
Of the lovers now gone with the wind

       Eb   G7               Cm7        Eb
And I face each new day, ever searching

Ab                   G7            F7
For that someone to have for all time

Eb                         G7
And I know it's impossible

      G             Cm7   F7
So I wonder, as I often wonder

Bb7               Bb          Eb
How long will I wander this time?
[Interlude] Bb7 Eb G7 Cm Eb Ab G7 F7 Bm Bb Eb G7 F7
Ab        G7          Cm7           F7
Oh yes, I wonder as I wonder every night

Bb7                  Ab  Eb
How long will it be this time?
[Verse 3]
Eb            G           Cm
So you see, life means a journey

Ab                      C7                    Fm7
Being in show business, a suitcase is my only home

Eb                G7                        Cm7
Sometimes I grow weary but I don't like to complain

F7                               Bb7
But I'm travelling this road all alone

Eb              G7          Cm7        Eb7
I may stumble, fall at the crossroads

Ab          G7           F7
As I leave all my misery behind

B
'Cause it's all over for me, no more misery this time

       Eb           G     Cm7
And I wonder, as I often wonder

           Eb   Bb
How long (how long)

                     Eb   Bb
Oh yeah, how long (how long)

                 Eb   Bb
Yes, how long (how long)
Must I see the old faces passing before me?
                Eb   Bb
Yeah, how long (how long)

                        Eb   Bb
Takes so long my lord (how long)

                     Eb   Bb
Takes so long my lord

     Fm7                      Fm
How loooooong must I wander

                    Eb     Ab   Eb
Will I wander this time?
