Prodigal Song Chords by Laura Story

[F] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] Henry loves the _ [F]
ballpark, but lately [Bbm] he ain't coming [F]
round
Things have been [C] so [F] different _ since his youngest boy left town
The [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ fighting [C] seems so [F] harmless, but Emily sometimes _ disagrees
It's hard to [C] know the reason [F] _
_ why he [Bb] finally [Dm] chose to leave
But he's _ [Gm] gone _ away _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
and his _ _ father [C] _
waits
_ _ _ [F] And [Bb] he is watching, _ _ _ and [F] he is hoping
_ _ Though his [Gm] eyes are _ weary, _ _ his arms [C] are still _ _ _ open
[F] And [Bb] _
he's _ _ _ so [F] softly spoken, _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ please [C] _
come _ [F] _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
[C] home
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Now Henry [C]
sits in the _ [F] nurse, in that front porch rocking chair
Does [C] his boy remember [F] _ _ all [C] the love the family [Dm] _ shared? _
And is [Gm] he _ cold _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ out _ there _ [C] alone? _ _ _
[F] _ And he [Bb] is watching, _ _ _ and he [F] is hoping _ _ _
Though his [Gm] eyes are _ weary, _ his arms [C] are still _ _ _ [F] open
And [Bb] he's _ _ _ _ so [F] softly spoken, _ [Dm] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _
_ please [C] _ _ come [Bb] _
_ _ home
To your seat [F] at the table, _ to your father [Gm] who weeps
_ _ _ Every [C]
night in sleepless dreams [F] he longs [Bb]
to see
_ His _ [F]
face and younger skin, _ _ [Dm] _
running [C] the driveway _ [Bb] _
_ _ again
_ And he is watching, _ _ _ _ and he [F] is hoping
_ Though his [Gm] eyes are weary, _ _ _ _ [C] his arms are still [F] open
And [Bb]
he's so _ _ _ [F] softly spoken, _ [Dm] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Gm] _ _ please [C] _
_ _ come _ _ _ [Am]
home
[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
