[Eb]
Well me and Roy Nichols and a couple of fellas [Ab] in the band
We [Bb] got to talking it over, thought we'd take off a little [Eb] time if we can
And I don't mean to say we're quitting, [G] we're just tired of making love by [Cm] telephone
We're [F] coming home, and if [Eb] I can finally fly this evening, [Bb] man
The old kid from the Skokie's [Eb] going home
[Abm] [Ab]
[Bb]
[Eb]
[G] [Cm]
[F] [Eb]
[Bb] [Eb]
Been living 20 years of traveling, 20 years of living out [Ab] on the road
Learning [Bb] these chords and finding these kids and paying up all these duties [Eb] that I owe
I may always be a [G] rambler, never lose the [Cm] urge to roam
[F] I'm coming home, and if [Eb] I can finally fly this evening
[Bb] The old kid from the Skokie's [Eb] coming home
Pound it out, Mark!
