Long Way Home Cifras

The original recording is in the key of A, so I put the capo on the second fret and play it in the key of G.
 
The song is meant to be played on ukulele, but for those of you who sadly do not have a ukulele (like me), I
have put together this chord sheet for guitar. It is mainly based on the ukulele chords, and has the purpose
of preserving the high melody of the ukulele but also adding a bassline throughout the song.
 
Chord positions:
G5             3x0033
Gmaj7          3x0032 (no3)
Em             022000
Dsus2/F#       200230
C              x32010
Gmaj7/B        x20002
Am11           x00213
Am11*          x00013
Bm7/A          x00435
Am7b5          x01013
A7sus4         x02033

(And a one, two, a one, two, three)
 
[Intro]
G5   Gmaj7   Em   Dsus2/F#   C   Gmaj7/B   Am11   Am11*
 
[Verse 1]
      G5               Gmaj7
I set out on a great adventure
           Em                        Dsus2/F#
The day my Father started leading me home.
                  C                          Gmaj7/B
He said, "There's gonna be some mountains to climb,
                       Am11                Am11*
And some valleys we're gonna go through."
 
      G5            Gmaj7
But I had no way of knowing
         Em                      Dsus2/F#
Just how hard this journey would be.
           C                           Gmaj7/B
'Cause the valleys are deeper, and the mountains are steeper
       Am11                      Am11*   Am11 -> Bm7/A
Than I ever could have dreamed.
 
[Chorus 1]
C                  Em
  But I know we're gonna make it,
C                  Em    Dsus2/F#  C
  And I know we're gonna get there soon,
C                Em                         A7sus4    A7
  And I know sometimes it feels like we are goin' the wrong way,
C                 Am7b5    G5   Gmaj7   Em   C
  But it's just a long way home
 
[Verse 2]
           G5
I got some rocks in my shoes,
             Gmaj7
Some fears I wish I could lose
     Em                            Dsus2/F#
That make the mountains so hard to climb.
       C             Gmaj7/B                      Am11              Am11*
And my heart gets so heavy with the weight of the world sometimes.
 
              G5
And there's a bag of regrets,
               Gmaj7
My should have beens, and not yets
  Em                Dsus2/F#
I keep on dragging around,
          C      Gmaj7/B                   Am11              Am11*   Am11 -> Bm7/A
And I can hardly wait for the day I get to lay it all down.
 
[Chorus 2]
C                 Em
  But I know that day is coming,
C                 Em    Dsus2/F# C
  And I know it's gonna be here  soon,
C                  Em                A7sus4                   A7
  And I won't turn back, even if the world says I'm going the wrong way,
C                    Am7b5    Am
  'Cause it's just a long way home.
 
[Bridge]
                  Bm
And when we can't take another step,
                Em             Dsus2/F#        C
Our Father will pick us up and carry us in his arms.
                Am                    Bm
And even on the best days, He says to remember we're not home yet,
             A7sus4      A7
So don't get too comfortable
              C                  Am7b5            G5 -> Gmaj7
'Cause really all we are is just pilgrims passing through.
 
Em   Dsus2/F#   C   Gmaj7/B   Am11   Am11*   Am11 -> Bm7/A
 
[Chorus 3]
C                   Em
  Well I know we're gonna make it,
C                  Em    Dsus2/F#  C
  And I know we're gonna get there soon,
C                 Em                    A7sus4         A7
  So I'll keep on singin' and believin' what all of my songs say.
 
C                   Em
 'Cause our God has made a promise,
C                 Em            Dsus2/F# C
  And I know that everything He says is  true,
C                  Em         A7sus4        A7
  And I know where ever we go He will never leave us.
 
C                   Am7b5   Em   Dsus2/F#
  'Cause He's gonna lead us home
C              Am7b5            G5
  Every single step of the long way.
 
[Outro]
         Gmaj7
Keep on, we're gonna make it,
Em        Dsus2/F#
   I know we're gonna make it,
C            Am7b5
  We're just taking the long way home.
 
         Gmaj7
Keep on, we're gonna make it,
Em        Dsus2/F#
   I know we're gonna make it,
C            Am7b5
  We're just taking the long way home.
 
         Gmaj7
Keep on, we're gonna make it,
Em        Dsus2/F#
   I know we're gonna make it,
C            Am7b5
  We're just taking the long way home.
 
         Gmaj7
Keep on, we're gonna make it,
Em        Dsus2/F#
   I know we're gonna make it,
C            Am7b5     G5
  It's just a long way home.
