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 [C#] ever know
_ [A#m] _ [C#] Are long ago and far behind
[G#] Wrapped up in my memories [C#] of home
_ _ [F#] Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole and the feel of a muddy road between [C#] my toes _ _
[F#] Home was the backboard swing where I would sit and mama [C#] sang
Amazing Grace while she hung [G#] out the clothes
Oh
[F#] _ Was an easy chair with my daddy there and the smell of Sunday supper [C#] on the stove
[A#m] _ [C#] My footsteps carry me away, [G#] 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 that lay [D] ahead _ _
And it's way too [Bm] late to listen to [G] the word of [A] wisdom that my [D] daddy said _ _
[G] The 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 [D] going home _ _
[G] Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole and the feel of a muddy road between [D] my toes _
_ _ [G] Home was the backboard swing where I would sit and mama sang
[D] Amazing Grace while she hung out [A] the clothes Oh
_ _ [G] _ Was an easy chair with my daddy there and the smell of Sunday supper on [D] the stove
[Bm] _ [D] My footsteps carry me away, [A] but in my mind, [A] I'm always [D] going home
_ _ [G] The straight and narrow path he showed me turned into a thousand [D] winding roads Oh
[Bm] _ [D] My footsteps carry me away, [A] but in my mind, I'm always [G] going home _ _ _ _ _
