Intro: CGF (4x)
CGF
It was the summer of my discontent
CGF
It was the ball of a lifetime
CGF
It was the winter of my [penny ?] absence
CGF
Waiting on the springtime
CGFC
Well, there was dark sackcloth and ashes
GF
For a couple-a years
CGF
I took my licks and my hundred lashes
CGF
I cried a bundle of tears
Chorus:
GA
Well, that distant shore's forever out of reach
DmF
Before you know it, you're washed up on the beach
CGF
And yet, you're welcome back
CGF
It was a pretty dark day
CGF
And now the sun is shining, welcome back
CGF
I'll just zoom on my way
CGF
Well, I was bent, but I was not broken
CGF
I was sinking, but I could not drown
CGF
I was reeling, but I was still hoping
CGF
I could be lost and found
CGF
Well, I was temporarily disconnected
CGF
In my state of disrepair
CGF
Disoriented and dejected
CGF
I had to climb out of there
Chorus:
GA
Well, that distant shore's forever out of reach
DmF
Before you know it, you're washed up on the beach
CGF
And then, you're welcome back
CGF
It was a pretty dark day
CGF
And now the sun is shining, welcome back
CGF
I'll just zoom on my way
Bridge:
AmFAmF
Move on landward, [ ? ] bound
AmFDmF

Instrumental: CGF (4x)
CGF
Welcome back
CGF
It was a pretty dark day
CGF
And now the sun is shining, welcome back
CGF
I'll just zoom on my way
CGF
Now everybody sing, 'Welcome back'

It was a pretty dark day
FCGF
Hard times in Babylon, welcome back
CGF
I'll just zoom on my way
