Tom : E
C#m B E
And the long hard road to guide me back home
E
Back to my mama who raised me up right
A
And back to my lady I held every night
C#m B
It's a long hard road trying to get home
C#m B
I've been gone now for too long
[Chorus]
E
I'm not trying to stop a hurricane
E A
I'm not trying to shake the ground below
A C#m B A
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home
E
I'm not trying to part the ocean waves
E A
I'm not trying to overthrow the throne
A C#m B A
I'm just trying to find a way to make it back home
[Próxima Parte]
A E
I'm just trying to get home
[Verse 2]
E
I've got this image engraved in my mind
A
Of a light that I had in a whole different time
C#m B
It still breathes and lives at the end of the road
E
I've seen mountains and valleys through my missing days
A
But I never once parted with how you begged me to stay
C#m B A
I will run down that long hard and treacherous road to get home
[Chorus]
[Próxima Parte]
A E
I'm just trying to get home
[Bridge]
N.C.
I've been gone for so long
But my heart it carries on
As it pounds like a drum
On my journey back home
E
I've been gone for so long
E
But my heart it carries on
C#m
I won't give up
[Chorus]
[Próxima Parte]
A E
I'm just trying to get home
E
I'm just trying to get home [X2]
