[D] [G] [Am] I'm 500 [D] miles away [G] from home .
.
Teardrops fell on Mama's note.
When I read the thing [Em] she wrote.
She said, [Am] we miss you son, [C] we love you.
Come [D] on home .
Well [G] I didn't have a pack .
[Em] [Am] .
[D] Away from [G] home .
Away from home, away from home.
Cold and tired and [Em] all alone.
Yes I'm [Am] 500 .
[D] miles away [G] from home .
.
I know this is the same road I took the day I left home.
[Em] .
But it sure looks [Am] different now.
Well I guess I [C] look different too.
[D] Cause time changes everything.
I [E] [G] wonder what they'll say.
When they see the boy looking this way.
[Em] Oh [Am] I wonder what [D] they'll say when [G] I get home.
[A] .
[D] Can't remember when I ate.
It's just thumb and [Bm] walk and wait.
And [Em] I'm still 500 .
[G] miles away [A] from home .
If [D] my luck had been just right.
I'd be with them all [Bm] tonight.
But I'm [Em] still 500 [A] miles away from [D] home .
Away [G] from home, away from home.
Cold and tired and all [Em] alone.
Yes I'm [Am] still 500 .
[D] miles away [G] from home .
[Am] .
[A] [B] [Bm] [F#] My [Em] darlin's on [A] his way, he's [Bm] coming home .
A [D] letter came just yesterday.
From a place so [Bm] far away.
[Em] It said I miss you [G] oh so much, I'm [A] coming home .
As [D] I read those words so dear.
And my eyes filled up [Bm] with tears.
I [Em] could hardly [A] realize he's [Bm] coming home .
He's [D] coming home, he's coming home.
I've waited here for [Bm] oh so long.
Yes [Em] my darlin's on his [A] way, [Bm] he's coming home .
[D] .
How my heart was filled with pain.
[Bm] That night he left on a [Em] northbound train.
I [G] knew that he'd be gone [A] a long, long time.
I've [D] cried a million tears.
But I've waited all these lonely [Bm] years.
Oh [Em] I wonder [A] what he'll say when he [Bm] gets home .
[E] [A] Can't remember when I ate.
It's just sit and [F#m] watch and wait.
[Bm] Yes my darlin's [D] on his way, he's [E] coming home .
I'll [A] be in his arms once more.
His love is what I've waited [F#m] for.
