Young Chinese Dogs - Long Way From Home

      3/4 time


[Intro]
G


[Verse 1]
G               C             Em
Take me back to Singapore and leave me there,
C      D        Em
a long way from home
G               C                 Em
Lie down in an easy- chair and forget about,
C      D    Em      C    D   G
a long time ago, a long way from home

G         C                   Em
You shout my name into your darkest night,
C         D            Em
as if it takes me back to you
G                  C
You made a choice, it turned out wrong,
Em                        C      D          Em
now live with it, it was your choice all along,
C      D         G
and that's how life goes


[Chorus]
D          Em       C     G    C     D   G
I tried to meet you halfway, a long time ago
D          Em       C     G     C     D   G
I lost my place in your world, a long time ago,
  C       D         G
oh a long way from home


[Verse 2]
G               C             Em
Calling me a million times: I won't pick up,
      C       D              Em
cause I know what you gonna say
G               C           Em
You tell me now that I don't fit your ways,
C       D       Em           C     D      G
but you fit all along, and I'm far from home

G                 C              Em
Wreck my dreams like they were fishing boats,
C        D           Em
that got hit by the ocean's tides
G             C                   Em
Cry for help, cause the night is getting cold,
C         D           Em
I'm not gonna share my coat,
C        D           G
once again you're on your own


[Chorus]
D          Em       C     G     C     D   G
I tried to meet you halfway, a long time ago
D          Em       C     G     C     D   G
I lost my place in your world, a long time ago,
  C       D         G
oh a long way from home


[Verse 3]
G               C             Em
Take me back to Singapore and leave me there,
  C      D      Em
a long way from home
G              C                Em
It was time to leave, time to say goodbye,
C    D      Em       C      D       G
a long time ago, oh a long way from home


[Interlude]
G (long strumming)
(cause I loved you!)

(if you want:)
D          Em       C     G     C     D   G
I tried to meet you halfway, a long time ago
D          Em       C     G     C     D   G
I lost my place in your world, a long time ago,
  C       D         G
oh a long way from home
