[G] [D]
[G]
[A] [D]
[Bm] Swing sets are [A]
empty, [D] like dirt, turn the dark for the night.
[Bm] The [G] center of this [A] town used to [D] whirl in the [A] glow of [Bm] twilight.
It might [G] look like [A] God's away, with all [D] the trouble [G] these days.
We'll come home before the girls are grown, we're coming [A] home [D] tonight.
What all have we [A] done to run [D] this country [A] into such a [Bm] sight?
[G] Stolen from our [A] brothers like we [D] couldn't find a fair enough [Bm]
fight.
We [G] don't promise, you [A] will say, won't [D] forsake the ash [G] and clay.
Let's come home before the girls are grown, let's come [A]
home [D] tonight.
[Em] I know we want [A] what's best for us, I [D] know it has to [A] come at a [Bm] price.
[G] I also know the [A] trouble that you [D] find when you [A] stop being [Bm] nice.
You look [G] around you one [A]
day, what [D] you once lifted [G] instead.
Let's come [F#m] home before the [Bm]
girls are [G] grown, let's come [A] home [D] tonight.

[A] [F#]
[Bm] [A]

[A]
[D]
Have you [Em] ever asked a [A] man to take your [D] place at the head of a [Bm]
table?
You could [G] shed away your [A] shame if in the [D] end he found you simply weren't able.
[Bm] You might [G]
find out you [A] could stay on the [D] ash and on [G] the clay.
Come on home before the girls are grown, come on [A] home [D] tonight.
[Em]
[A] [F#]
[Bm] [A]
[G] Come on home before the girls are grown, come [A] on.
