G
I was young when I left home
C
But I been out a-ramblin’ ‘round
D7sus4 D7sus4
And I never wrote a letter to my home
G
To my home
C
Lord, to my home
D7sus4 G
And I never wrote a letter to my home
G
It was just the other day
C
I was bringing home my pay
D7sus4 D7sus4
When I met an old friend I used to know
G
Said your mother’s dead and gone
C
Baby sister’s all gone wrong
D7sus4 G
And your daddy needs you home right away
G
Not a shirt on my back
C
Not a penny on my name
D7sus4 D7sus4
Well I can’t go home this-a-way
G
This-a-way
C
Lord, Lord, Lord
D7sus4 G
And I can’t go home this-a-way
G C D7sus4 G
G
G
If you miss the train I’m on
C
Count the days I’m gone
D7sus4 D7sus4
You will hear that whistle blow a hundred miles
G
A hundred miles, honey baby
C
Lord Lord Lord
D7sus4 G
And you’ll hear that whistle blow a hundred miles
G
I’m playing on a track
C
Ma would come and whoop me back
D7sus4 D7sus4
On them trestles down by old Jim McKay’s
G
When I pay the debt I owe
C
To the commissary store
D7sus4 G
I will pawn my watch and chain and go home
G
Go home
C
Lord Lord Lord
D7sus4 G
I will pawn my watch and chain and go home
G C D7sus4 G
G
G
Used to tell Ma sometimes
C
When I see them riding blinds
D7sus4 D7sus4
Gonna make me a home out in the wind
G
In the wind
C
Lord in the wind
D7sus4 G
Make me a home out in the wind
G
I don’t like it in the wind
C
Wanna go back home again
D7sus4 G
But I can’t go home this-a-way
G
This-a-way
C
Lord Lord Lord
D7sus4 G
And I can’t go home this-a-way
G C D7sus4 G
G
G
I was young when I left home
C
But I been out a-ramblin’ ‘round
D7sus4 D7sus4
And I never wrote a letter to my home
G
To my home

Lord Lord Lord
D7sus4 G
And I never wrote a letter to my home
