I left my Adirondack home about a year ago
E MajorE F#F# B7B7
I met up with bad company, the kind you shouldn’t know
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
I learned to drink and gamble, turned out to be a bum
E MajorE B7B7 E MajorE
Now I’m tired of roamin’ around and I’m gonna be back home
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
There’s a path that leads back to my Adirondack home
E MajorE F#F# B7B7
I’m goin’ back tonight, and I never more will roam
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
I can see my mother there, for her boy she says a prayer
E MajorE B7B7 E MajorE
And she waits in her arm chair in my Adirondack home
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
Now dad has left this cruel world for heaven up above
E MajorE F#F# B7B7
Leaving mother all alone with thon and me to love
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
But I left my little home, found nothin’ short of pain
E MajorE B7B7 E MajorE
I know that I was wrong and I’m goin’ back again
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
There’s a path that leads back to my Adirondack home
E MajorE F#F# B7B7
I’m goin’ back tonight, and I never more will roam
E MajorE A augmentedA E MajorE
I can see my mother there, for her boy she says a prayer
E MajorE B7B7 E MajorE
And she waits in her arm chair in my Adirondack home
