[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.

If you miss the train I'm on, count [C] the days [G] I'm gone, you [A] will hear that [G] whistle blow
a [A] hundred miles, hundred [D] miles, honey baby, [C] Lord, [G] Lord, Lord, you [A] will hear [G] that whistle
blow a [D] hundred miles.
When I pay the debt I owe to [C] the commissary [G] store, [A] I will pawn [G] my watch and chain [A] and
go home, [D] go home.
Lord, [G] Lord, Lord, [A] I will pawn my [G] watch and chain [D] and go home.

used to tell me more sometimes, when I'd see him [G] riding blind, [A] gonna make [G] me a home
out [A] in the wind, [D] in the wind, Lord [G] in the wind, [A] gonna make me [G] a home out in [D] the wind.
I don't like it in the wind, [Am] wanna go [G] back home again, but [A] I [G] can't go home this [A] way,
this [D] way, Lord, [G] Lord, Lord, no I [A] can't go [G] [D] home this way.
