HOME

(Am D) or (F C)
VERSE 1.
Where the (G) windmill sings to the mocking bird
And the (CM7) prairie wind, without a word
(Am) Whispers thru tall (D) grass, I’ll be (G) home
(F C G) or (Am D)

VERSE 2.
Where the butter cups and the thistles thrive
And the Black-eyed Susans dot my drive
I’ll be humming to myself, I’m almost home (Am D) or (F C)

BRIDGE 1
When I (Em) feel the gravel crumble in my (C) driveway
And the (Em) puppies all come running out to (C) play (D)
I’ll (G) know I’ve died and gone to heaven (C) finally
And my (Am) mom and dad will (D) greet me that fine day. (G F C G)

BRIDGE 2
(Em) Charlotte hangs by the (C) back screen door
(Em) Mending the web that the (C) horse fly tore (D)

VERSE 3
Where the cattle lo and the horses neigh
And the mountains look so far away
I’ll be rolling down my window ‘cause I’m home

(C) 2020 Royal T Music

For several years, between 1974 and 1980,
we lived out 917 south of Mansfield.
Brook, Goldyn and River were born there.
This is where I’m seeing as I sing this song.

One day I heard a sound of a note sung against a C chord that really reached me. I grabbed my guitar to figure out what it was. I went strait to my studio downstairs and wrote this song. (Of course, it was a CM7.)
