Chords/Tabulature for
On The Way Home

Notes about this song:

  • A number of different suggestions were posted to the Rusted Guitars list.
  • David M and I agreed on the following version, which is based on the 4Way Street recording of the song.
  • (Additionally, David listened to a solo version.)
  • At first sight, this looks quite complicated. This is mainly due to the intro and the fills between the 1st lines of each verse and after each verse. Basically, these instrumental parts are nothing but changing between various forms of D and G. And played each time a bit differently.
  • I've put those fill chords in brackets to make the whole tab clearer.
  • The suggestions for the fills are approximate, and not played the same each time throughout the song.
Intro:                                                                        
                                                                              
  [Dmaj7   Em/D    D       Em/D    Dmaj7   Em/D    D]                         
                                                                              
                                                                              
          D             G                      D          [G/D D(2) Em/D  D]  
When the dream came,  I held my breath with my eyes closed                    
      Gmaj7 D            G                       D                            
I went insane, like a smoke ring day when the wind blows                      
      G                  D                                                    
Now I won't be back till later on

If I do come back at all                                                      
        C                 G       Fmaj7                                       
But you know me (you know me) and I miss you now

D                    G                 D                                      
In a strange game, I saw myself as you knew me                                
          Gmaj7  D             G                   D         [G/D D(2) Em/D D]
When the change came, and you had a chance to see through me                  
           G             D                                                    
Though the other side is just the same                                        
        G       G/F#     [Em   Em7  A A1 A2 A3 A4]
