• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

Key: A

Verse 1:
N.C.                    G
Oh, she said it was the sound of the winter callin'
Bm
  From up around the bend
                   C
Or it could be the cry of your restless heart
        D
For the love of your long lost friends
        G
Oh, but me, I think it's just the summertime
        Bm
And the heat of these Texas winds
               C
They keep on a-slappin' my face with dust so thick
         D
That the tears won't roll again

Chorus:
C                  D
Last of the true believers
               G             C
Have you grown weary all alone?
             C           D              G
You could go home again, home again, home
C                  D
Last of the true believers
              G                  C
You pack your things and go back home
             C           D              G
You could go home again, home again, home


Verse 2:
                  G
Oh she said, "You can't stay away forever
                Bm
'cause they say love doesn't last that long
        C
And the ghost of the one that you loved the best
   D
is bound to be long gone
       G
So you fall for the one you believe in
         Bm
and take pride in the heart you hold
                C
'Cause when the wintertime pounds upon your door,
     D
It's shelter from the cold".


Chorus:
C                  D
Last of the true believers
               G             C
Have you grown weary all alone?
             C           D              G
You could go home again, home again, home
C                  D
Last of the true believers
              G                  C
You pack your things and go back home
             C           D              G
You could go home again, home again, home


Interlude:

G   Bm   C   D


Verse 3:
          G
There's a shadow on our wall
             Bm
where I once stood with him in mind
                C
And there is an empty space beside him
              D
Where I could take my rest at night
                      G
Oh, and I will be the last of the true believers,
   Bm
If truth's in his heart to lend
             C
Because this wintertime sure looks cold to me,
         D
A-comin' up around the bend


Chorus:
C                  D
Last of the true believers
               G             C
Have you grown weary all alone?
             C           D              G
You could go home again, home again, home
C                  D
Last of the true believers
              G                  C
You pack your things and go back home
             C           D              G
You could go home again, home again, home


Outro:
               C           D              G
Oh, I could go home again, home again, home
                    C           D              G
Well, it looks like home again, home again, home
               C           D              G
Oh, I could go home again, home again, home
                   G N.C.      C N.C.          G
Well, he brings me home again, home again, home
