verse 1:
G
Bought my ticket, took that bus
F G C
One cold Monday morning
G
Mid-September, Nineteen-Sixty-Three, I
F G C
Paid no heed to the warning
G
But they said, don't go too far out from here
F G C
It's twice as far returning
G
Looking back I could see nothing for the smoke
F G C
From the bridges I was burning
F Em G Am
And it's a long way back down to where I come from
F C G
And I've got nothing to forget
C F C
There's a list of things here I have to do

And I've hardly started yet
verse 2:
C G
Well, I've been close to trouble, I've been close to death
F G C
I've been close to some fine women
G
There are places where I'm always welcome and
F G C
Some where they say, "Don't let him in"
G
But I've spent my time in company
F G C
That was faithful and was trying
G
Like that black-eyed girl from Birmingham
F G C
Who was with me when I was crying
F Em G Am
And it's a long way back down to where I come from
F C G
And I've got nothing to forget

There's a list of things here I have to do

C G
Ohh well, I've spent my time working for the day
F G C
When I can leave this joke behind me
G
And I don't need you making token gestures
F G C
That casually remind me
G
That I'm stuck out here at the break of dawn
F G C
With my faculties diminished
G
That little Hazel has to wait, but it won't be long
F G C
'Til I get this damn song finished
F Em G Am
And it's a long way back down to where I come from
F C G
And I've got nothing to forget

But there's a list of things here I have to do

And I've hardly started yet

I've hardly started yet

I've hardly started yet

I've hardly started yet
