[Verse 1]
 Am             G
A fugitive has been away so long

                       Am
A thousand years, and now he thinks of home

 Am               G
The law men are waiting in the wings

                      Am
To put him in chains upon his return

 Am            G
Emptiness his bitterness is gone

 F                 Am
Journey on to the eternal reward
[Chorus]
        C           G
It's a long way to go

         F             Am
A black angel at your side

        C           G
It's a long way to go

         F             Am
A black angel at your side
[Verse 2]
 Am                G
The sirens call a sailor to die

                             Am
Enchanted by the sound, his desires have been found

 Am               G
In his mind, his life is rushing by

                     Am
All this while, the storm it rages on

 Am                         G
He's turning old, he shall never return

 F               Am
Sail on to the eternal reward
[Chorus]
        C           G
It's a long way to go

         F             Am
A black angel at your side

        C           G
It's a long way to go 

           F             Am
With that angel at your side

        C           G
It's a long way to go 

          F              Am
With the reaper at your side

        C           G
It's a long way to go

         F             Am
A black angel at your side
[Verse 3]
 Am               G
The fugitive has been away so long

                       Am
A thousand years, and now he thinks of home

 Am               G
The long men are waiting in the wings

                      Am
To put him in chains upon his return

 Am              G
Emptiness his bitterness is gone

 F                 Am
Journey on to the eternal reward
