Home Chords by Dolly Parton

_ _ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [G#m] _
[E] _ _ [B] _ _ [F#] _ _ [B] _ _
_ [E] _ [B] Looking [F#] out of my window pane, [G#m]
[C#m] tears mingling [F#m] with [D#m] the rain, I'm so lonesome I could cry
just [E] like old [B] Hank.
Staring [F#] down on the city street, [G#m]
feeling empty [F#m] and [B] incomplete, there's
a place I [F#] need to be to [G#m] fill [A] my tank.
[B] A place I [F#] can go where [E] I can be free, where I can
be happy [B] and just be me.
[F#] Home, where [G#m] the warm wind's blowing and [Em] the [B] river's flowing.
[F#] Home,
like [G#m] a lazy [E] bum in the midday [B] sun and I'm gone.
[F#] _ [G#m] Fishing with my pole at [E] the fishing
hole, where I can lay down my heavy load, [F#] know that I am always [B] welcome.
Home, [F#] _ _ [G#m] _ _
_ [E] _ [B] I left
home when I [F#] was seventeen, [G#m] I had a lot of [E] ambitious [B] dreams, seen a lot of [F#] those dreams
come true, [G#m] I've had [E] good luck.
I ain't [B] complaining, that's for sure, [G#m] I got a lot to [F#m] be thankful
[B] for.
One of [F#] those things is a magic door [G#m] that [E] opens up, back to the time when I was [B] a kid.
To the sound of the crickets and the canyons, it's home.
Home, [F#] on [G#m] the front porch swinging
[E] and the fern [B] pots hanging.
Home, [F#] with [G#m] the church bells ringing [Em] and voices [B] singing those
[F#] old songs [G#m] that meant my mind [E] like a stitch in time, where the tea is sweet and the love
comes through.
[F#]
Home, I [B] want to go [F#] home.
[G#m] _ _
_ [E] _ [C#m] _ I often think about [B] where [F#] I've been, [C#m] where I
am going, [B] and that's [F#] about when I think [B] about [F#] home, [B] where the soul [E] finds comfort and the
heart [B] finds pleasure.
[F#] Home, where [G#m] the depths [E] of love [B] is hard to measure it.
Home, [F#] _ [G#m] I hear
you calling, [E] I hear you calling, I'll never be lost as long as I know, [F#] there's a place
right back where I can go, [E] where I can restore my weary soul, [F#] on the mountain slopes and
the [B] topless mountains.
Home, [F#] _ [B] _ _
_ [E] home [B] sweet [F#] _ _ [B] _ _
[E] home.
[B] _ Home, [F#] _ [G#m] back to the hills [E] with the whippoorwills
[B] and home, [F#] _ [G#m] with the fireflies blinking [E] and the night [B] stars blinking.
[F#] Home, _ [G#m]
honeysuckle
pine, [E] musky dine wine [B] and home, with the fireflies blinking and the night stars blinking.
Home,
[F#] _ [G#m] where the [E] ginseng grows and the shade [B] grows up.
Home, [F#] _ [G#m] with family and friends [E] and toilet
never [B] ends.
Home, [F#] _ [G#m] there's no [E] place like it, no [B] place like it.
