500 Miles Away From Home

D7D7      C majorC       G+G
I'm five hundred miles away from home
G+G
Teardrops fell on mama's note,
              E minorEm
when I read the things she wrote
      D7D7        C majorC         D7D7
She said "We miss you son, we love you, come on home"
    G+G                       E minorEm
Well I didn't have to pack, I had it all right on my back
    D7D7      C majorC       G+G
Now I'm five hundred miles away from home

Chorus:
 G+G
Away from home, away from home
            E minorEm
Cold and tired and all alone
     D7D7      C majorC       G+G
Yes I'm five hundred miles away from home

(Spoken) I know this is the same coat
I took when I left home
But it sure looks different now
And I guess I look different too
But time changes everything
I wonder what they'll say,
When they see their boy lookin' this way
(Sung) Oh, I wonder what they'll say when I get home

(Change to key of D MajorD - D,A7,G,Bm)

Can't remember when I ate, it's just thumb and walk and wait
And I'm still five hundred miles away from home
If my love had been just right, I'd be with them all tonight
But I'm still five hundred miles away from home

Repeat chorus (In Key of G+G)

Oh, I'm still five hundred miles away from home
