written by Kris Kristofferson INTRO: G G C G The clubs are all closed and the ladies are leavin' A7 D There's nobody nobody knows on the street G C G A few stranded souls standin' cold at the station C G D G And nowhere to go but to bed and to sleep CHORUS: C G Lord would ya look at ya now that you're here ain't ya D G A7 Proud of your peers and the long way you've come C G All alone all the way on your own who's to say D A7 That you've thrown it away for a song G D Boy you've sure come a long way from home (KEY CHANGE TO A) A D A So it's so long but so many so far behind ya B7 E Fair weather friends that you no longer know A D A You still got the same lonely songs to remind ya D A E A Of someone you seemed to be so long ago CHORUS: D A Lord would ya look at ya now that you're here ain't ya E A B7 Proud of your peers and the long way you've come D A All alone all the way on your own who's to say E B7 That you've thrown it away for a song A E A Boy you've sure come a long way from home
