[C] [Gm] [Bb]
[F] [Bb] [F]
There's a sorrow [Bb] [F] in the wind Blowing [Bb] down [F] the road I've been
[Dm] I can hear it cry [Bb] While shadows [F] steal the [Bb] sun
[F] But I [Bb] cannot [F] look back now I've come too [Bb] far to [F] turn around
[Dm] And there's still a race [Bb] ahead [F] That I must [Bb] run
[F] I'm [Dm] only [C] [F] halfway home [Dm] I've got the [Gm] [F] journey on
To [Gm] where I'll find [Bb] Find the thing [F] I've [Bb] lost
[F]
I've [Dm] come a [C] long, [F] long road But [Dm] still I've [C] got two [F] miles to go
[Gm] I've got a wide, a [Bb] wide river [F] to crawl [Bb] [F] I have stumbled, [Bb] [F] I have strayed
You can [Bb] trace the [F] tracks I've made [Dm] All across the [Bb] memories my [F] heart [Bb] [F] recalls
But I'm [Bb] still a [F] refugee Won't you say [Bb] a [F] prayer for me?
[Dm] Cause sometimes [Bb] Even the strongest [F] soldier [Bb] falls
[F] I'm [Dm] only [C] [F] halfway home [Dm] I've got the [C] [F] journey on
To [Gm] where I'll find I'll [Bb] find the thing [F] I've lost
[Bb] [F]
I've [Dm] come a [C] long, [F] long road But [Dm] still I've [C] got two [F] miles to go
