[Intro] Em A Em A Em A Em A [Verse 1]
Em     A                Em      A
  Dark highways and the country roads

      C         G         A
Don't scare you like they did

    C                   G       D
The woods and winds now welcome you

       A              Em      A   Em
To the places you once hid

            A       Em     A
You grew up and you moved away

 C       G       A
Across a foreign sea

    C                G         D
And what was left was what was kept

                     Em  A  Em
Was what you gave to me
[Chorus]
C                   G       Am
  You thought you'd left it all behind

    C             G      Am
You thought you'd up and gone

Em     C       G       Am
   But all you did was figure out

       D        G        C
How to take the long way home
[Instrumental] Em Am Em A Em A G A [Verse 2]
    Em       A        Em     A
The Southern rain was heavy

       C        G    A
Almost heavy as your heart

  C            G         D
A cavalcade of strangers came

             A      Em    A   Em
To tear your world apart

             A       Em
The bells of old St. Mary's

    A       C        G        A
Are now the clang of Charcoal Hill

        C             G       D
And you took the old religion from

          A      Em   A   Em
The woman on the hill
[Chorus]
C                 G       Am
You thought you'd left it all behind

    C             C      Am      Em
You thought you'd up and gone

    C       G       Am
But all you did was figure out

       D        G        C
How to take the long way home
[Chorus]
C                 G       Am
You thought you'd left it all behind

    C             C      Am      Em
You thought you'd up and gone

    C       G       Am
But all you did was figure out

       D        G        C
How to take the long way home
[Outro] Em Am Em A Em A G
    A        Em
The long way home
