I'm a huge phil collins and genesis fan, and have been since i was 3-4 years old. Now im
and find 'Take Me Home' is still one of my favourite phil collins songs..

i've looked on here for some chords, and not to name and shame, but nobody has written
half decent ones... so to actually give some credit and justice to the song, i thought
write down some proper ones!

Note: With the chorus i've made sure i've placed each chord on each word precisely, make
you change fingering quick.

D - on the first 'Take' pause
D5 - the second 'Take'
Cadd9 - 'Me' *you can miss this one out and just have 3 chord chorus*
G - 'Home'

As for strumming, im still trying to figure that one out.. it seems easy to strum each
once.. if you strummed in tempo with the songs background, you'd ruin the sound of the
so it's quite tricky!

Tuning: Standard - *capo 1*
