Capo II
 
Em          Am         Am  Em  B7          Em
It's been a long time, now I'm coming back home
           Em  Am   Am Em  B7         Em
I've been away now, oh how I've been alone
 
G Cmaj7       G         Cmaj7   G  Cmaj7
Wait   till I come back to your side
         G       B7       Em
We'll forget the tears we cried
 
            Em    Am      Am    Em    B7       Em
But if your heart breaks, don't wait, turn me away

And if your heart's strong, hold on, I won't delay

                 Em
As good as I can be

And know that you will wait for me
 
Em               Am    Am  Em  B7          Em
It's been a long time, now I'm coming back home

I've been away now, oh how I've been alone
 
G Cmaj7      G         Cmaj7   G  Cmaj7
Wait  till I come back to your side

We'll forget the tears we cried

And know that you will wait for me
 
            Em    Am      Am    Em    B7       Em
But if your heart breaks, don't wait, turn me away

And if your heart's strong, hold on, I won't delay

I play without using capos so I just transpose to my chords to fit my voice. I'm a legend in my own music room @practice.😎 The little dog is my body guard. He has a twin brother named Willie, his name is Waylon.

Tried it recently and it's definitely capo II with these chords. Tom Teates' Google site is a great source of free and accurate tabs. You can always spot them by the "Set8" at the bottom.
