Chords for Bobby Bare - 500 miles

come home so much _ that this is just about [G] the story of part of my life.
It goes like this. _ _
Oh, [Am] I'm _ 500 _ [D] _
miles away [G] from home. _ _
_ [Bm] Two [G] drops fell on Mama's note.
_ When I read the thing [Em] she wrote,
she said, we [Am] miss you, son.
[C] We love you.
[D] Come on home. _
_ [C] [Bm] Well, [A] I [G] _ didn't have to fight _ _ it all. _
_ [Em] _ _ Now [Am] I'm five _ [D] _ miles away [G] from home.
_ _ _ Away from home, away from home.
Cold and tired and [Em] all.
_ Yes, [Am] I'm five.
[D] I'm going [Am] to come [G] _ home.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
I know this is the same road I took, _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [Am] but it sure looks different [C] now.
_ _ I guess [D] I look different, too, because time [Bm] changes everything.
[G] _ _ _
I wonder what they'll say
when they see their boy looking this [Em] way.
_ Oh, [Am] I wonder what [D] they'll say when I [G] get home.
_ [A] _ _ _ [D] Can't remember when I ate.
It's just thumb and [F#m] [Bm] walk and wait.
_ And I'm [Em] still 500 _ [G] miles [A] away from home.
_ _ _ [F#m] If [D] my luck had made us right.
Oh, maybe with them all [Bm] tonight.
But [Em] I'm still five thousand [A] miles away from [D] home. _
_ [G] _ [Am] Oh, we [G] run home away from home.
Cold and tired and all [Em] alone.
Yes, I'm [Am] still 500 _
[D] _ miles away [G] from home. _ _
_ _ Oh, I'm [Am] still _ [D] 500 miles away [G] from home. _ _
