[D] I was young when I left home and I've been out [G] rambling round and [A] I never [G] wrote a letter
to [A] my home, to [D] my home, Lord to [G] my home and [A] I never [G] wrote a letter to [D] my home.
It was just the other day, I was drinking on [G] my pay, [A] when I met an [G] old friend I used
[A] to know, said [D] your mother's dead and gone, baby [C] sister's [G] all gone wrong, [A] and your daddy
[G] needs you home [D] right away.
Not a shirt on my back, not a penny on [G] my name, [Am] and I can't [G] go home [A] this way, this [D] way,
[C] Lord, [G] Lord, Lord, no [A] I can't [G] go home [D] this way.
