Highlighted Show chord diagrams
This is the most underrated song from the most underrated album by a very underrated musician, who passed away this year. R.I.P to him, and enjoy. ----- D Bm A I stood and looked across the water D Bm A I had to get to the other side G D Because I knew that you'd be waitin G Bm A D I didn't want to take the long way round. The captain said the ship was leavin And that we'd better get on board I settled down to watch the sunrise And wondered if I'd see the sun go down. [ Tab from: http://www.guitaretab.com/g/gerry-rafferty/268609.html ] Gm F Eb The sea was rough and the wind was howlin Gm F C But I was laughing all the way Gm F Eb I didn't care about the weather G D Because I knew that you'd be waitin D Bm A D I didn't want to take the long way round Then a stranger sat beside me It was my brother in disguise He said he knew where I was goin He asked me why I took the long way round. (SOLO) The sea was rough and the wind was howlin But I was laughing all the way I didn't listen to the stranger Because I knew that you'd be waitin I didn't want to take the long way round At last, I came to my destination The stranger turned and walked away He didn't know where he was goin He said he had to take the long way round. I stood and looked across the water I thought of what I'd left behind Because I knew that you'd be waitin I didn't want to take the long way round. Because I knew that you'd be waitin I didn't want to take the long way round.  |
