[Verse 1]
G#m         F#         E
 There’s a time in our lives
     F#        G#m
To return, sacrifice
     F#             E
Wild grass has grown high
       F#              G#m/B
On the path between our lives
          F#/A#        E 
There’s a light in the trees
            F#             G#m
It’s closer now, I’m on my knees
   F#         E     F#
Oh Father, forgive me, please

[Chorus]
         G#m                 F#
I came a long, long way back home
       E           F#
To see you one more time
                G#m                 F#
‘Cause I came a long, long way back home
       E              F# 
To see you and say Goodbye

[Interlude]

[Verse 2]
G#m       F#             E
 Father’s hands work the ground
          F#            G#m
Turns the soil, lays it down
     F#             E
Everything done and said
        F#                     G#m/B
Lives beyond the quick and the dead
    F#/A#        E
Heritage passed along
       F#                  G#m
To the sons like a blessed song
              F#        E    F#
So raise your voices on high tonight

[Chorus]
         G#m                 F#
I came a long, long way back home
       E           F#
To see you one more time
                G#m                 F#
‘Cause I came a long, long way back home
       E              F# 
To see you and say Goodbye

         G#m                 F#
I came a long, long way back home
       E           F#
To see you one more time
                G#m                 F#
‘Cause I came a long, long way back home
        E              F#       G#m
To hold you and say Goodbye, Goodbye
