The Long & Winding Road

Words & Music:

John Lennon & Paul McCartney

 

Am  Em                 G9sus4  C     C/Bb    F

The long and winding road that leads to your door.

F    C/E        Am         Dm7       G7     C7sus4  C7

Will never disappear, I've seen that road before.

F  C/E    Am       Am7   Dm7     G7      C

It always leads me here, lead me to your door.

 

The wild and windy night that the rain washed away

Has left a pool of tears crying for the day.

Why leave me standing here, let me know the way.

 

 

C/G             F              C/E             Dm7   G7

Many times I've been alone and many times I've cried.

C/G           F              C/E            Dm7

Anyway you'll never know the many ways I've tried.

 

And still they lead me back to the long winding road.

You left me standing here, a long, long time ago.

Don't leave me waiting here, lead me to your door.

 

C/G    F    C/E    Dm7  [2x]

 

But still they lead me back to the long winding road.

You left me standing here, a long, long time ago.

F     C/E       Am    Am7   Dm7     G7       C   G9sus4  CM7

Don't keep me waiting here, lead me to your door.
