Chords for Long Way From Home - Glenn Kaiser

[N] Well, [D] wherever [C] I'm in the world I do this song [D] for my Wendy.
We've been married, _ [Eb] uh_
How long have you been married, Sylvia, you [C] and Michael?
_ _ [Eb] _ _ [Db] _ [Eb] Fourteen, yo! _
Newlyweds.
_ [Ab] _ _ [Gb] Wendy and I are coming up on [Cm] our [Db] 32.
Yeah!
[Gb] _ [Am] Yeah!
[D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
[Ebm] Ah, you'll get there.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ _ Wherever I'm in [Db] the world I do this song for her.
She's [C] usually with me nine out of ten times.
She's [Eb] with us and [Db] travels with me, certainly with the band.
[G] _
_ [Db] _ [G] And, uh_
She always [Eb] requests a song if I don't do it, so_
[D] _ It was [Eb] during a rainstorm in Chicago.
_ [Dbm] In an old burned out building that we, [Eb] uh_
_ We used to_
Jesus [Db] people in our community in Chicago,
we used to have a bunch of [D] guys [Eb] over there, single guys.
[Db] And they had like cool dorms, like [Ebm] the Guam Cafe.
They had [Ab] black lights and rugs.
[Ebm] They were all burning incense.
[A] A bunch of ex-hippies in there, you know.
_ Came to the Lord.
[Ebm] It was an interesting joint.
Well, it had been burned, you know.
And there had been a [A] fire over there.
They had [Ebm] a wood shop that I used to_
I've got a dent in my head.
But, really, I [C] worked over there for a while.
And one night it was [Gm] just pouring rain.
And before [Eb] we'd rehab the [D] building and turn it into a safe housing for,
I think, there were 18 apartments in there now.
Women _ and_
Unmarried women and their kids.
_ _ _ Anyway, _ um_
I started thinking about the [C] tears that God cried for me.
I started thinking about the struggles in my life.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ The [Cm] sense of self-loathing.
The sense of self-hatred.
What's the worth?
What's the point of living? _
I had destroyed so many lives.
I was a small-time drug [G] dealer.
_ And [Cm] dope sex music was my life.
I mean, it was my life.
[D] I started in bands when I was 13. _ _ _ _
[Cm] And here I was almost [Gm] 18 before [Eb] I finally broke down and [G] followed Jesus. _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ But I [Eb] have never, ever [Cm] forgotten what it was like to be lost.
[C] _ [D] I don't dwell on it.
[Cm] _ I don't constantly go back over and [Ebm] over.
The old catalog [C] is in.
_ [Eb] I can tell you what.
[C] _ _ _
_ _ _ One [Cm] person impersonating God _ for 18 years,
it sure messed things up. _
_ [C] And that was me.
_ _ [Cm] So this [Eb] song kind of spilled out [G] that night. _ _ _ _
And every time [Cm] I'm doing an acoustic blues set,
_ [G] _
_ I [D] dedicate this to Wendy.

_ [G] _
