Intro:
Am
Am C Em F G
[Verso 1]
Am
The crossroads were so long ago Our war was won but lost in the end
C
Now the long run has left us spent Beaten by the places we went
Em
Ready to rest, waiting to sleep, ready to sow what we had reaped
F
No more shame for who we’ve been
G
we went there and back again
[Verso 2]
Am
The mountain is so far away Our treasure has been reclaimed
C
But there is no rest till we get home, those old streets that we once roamed
Em
Waiting there with open arms Beaming with their saintly charms
F
Forsaken loves and forgiven kin,
G
We went there and back again
[Verso 3]
Am
All that remains are our memories, our past sins forgotten lost to the winds
C
And we return as battered souls our faces dragged across the coals
Em
Dreaming of a better time before the years were so unkind
F
All that’s left is a lonesome end
G
We went there and back again
Am
