[VERSE 1]
Out on the [C]street it was [G]raining to[D]day [C]

Gave him five [C]dollars and [G]went on my [D]way [C]
Big city [D]blues in my [C]soul [G]

[VERSE 2]
Maybe like [C]me that man [G]chose to live [D]here [C]
Where there are [D]days your heart[G] dies [C] [G]
Maybe he [C]dreamed of a [G]place far a[D]way [C]
Under the [D]wide open [C]skies [G] [Em]

[VERSE 3]
Went on my [Bm]way feeling [C]strange all that [G]day [Bm]
Wondering [C]what had gone [G]wrong [D] [G]
Deep in my [C]heart I could [G]hear that voice [D]call [C]
Haunting me [D]all that day[C] long [G]

[CHORUS]

You've been [Em]gone[Am]___ far too [D]long

[VERSE 4]
I've seen the [C]world and it's [G]sights in my [D]day [C]
Cities that [D]blaze like the [G]sun [C] [G]
I've had my [C]share of their [G]riches and [D]fame [C]
Done things I [D]never should have [C]done[G]__

[VERSE 5]
[Em]Been broken [Bm]hearted and [C]broken some [G]hearts [Bm]
Tried running [C]hard from my [G]pain [D] [G]
And all a[C]long that voice [G]calls in my [D]soul
Come [C]back to the [D]mountains a[C]gain [G]

Where your [C]drea[D]ms can't [G]go wrong [D]

[BRIDGE]
Bought a ticket [C]back a[Em]gain [D]
Heading home once [C]more[Em]___ [D]
Feel that aching [C]pain re[Em]cede [G]
Like the waves on a [D]shore [G]

I feel the [C]heart of the [G]mountains a[D]gain [C]
Beating [D]inside my [G]breast [C] [G]
