Home Chords by Joe Diffie

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C#] The only thing I see ahead [F#] is just the heat [G#] arising [C#] off the road
_ The rainbows I've [A#m] been chasing keep [F#] on fading before [G#] I find my [C#] pot of gold _ _
[F#] And more and more I'm thinking that the only treasures that I'll ever [C#] know
_ [A#m] _ [C#] Are long ago and far behind
[G#] Wrapped up in my memories of home
_ _ [F#]
Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole and the feel of a muddy road between my [C#] toes
_ _ [F#] Home was a backboard swing where I would sit and mama [C#] sang
Amazing Grace while she hung out [G#] the clothes
_ [F#] Home was an easy chair with my daddy there and the smell of Sunday supper on the [C#] stove
_ [A#m] My [C#] footsteps carry me [G#] away, but in my mind I'm always [C#] going home _ _
[A] _ _ _ [D] Now the miles I put behind me [G] ain't as hard [A] as the miles we [D] laid ahead _ _
And it's way too [Bm] late to listen to [G] the words of [A] wisdom that my [D] daddy said
_ _ [G] The straight and narrow path he showed me turned into a thousand winding [D] roads
_ [Bm] My [D] footsteps carry me away, [A] but in my mind I'm always going home
_ _ [G] Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole and the feel of a muddy road between my toes _
_ [G] Home was a backboard swing where I would sit and mama [D] sang
Amazing Grace while she hung out [A] the clothes
_ _ [G] Home was an easy chair with my daddy there and the smell of Sunday supper [C#m] on the [D] stove _
My footsteps carry me [A] away, but in my mind I'm always [D] going home
The [G] straight and narrow path he showed me turned into a thousand [D] winding roads
[Bm] _
[D] My footsteps carry me away, [A] but in my mind I'm always [G] going home _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
