Verse 1
    F#m7F#m7
I had a good life
      F#m7F#m7
Before you came
     E minor 7Em7
I had my friends and my freedom
A augmentedA
I had my name
        F#m7F#m7
Still there was sorrow and emptiness

'Til you made me glad
    A augmentedA
Oh, in this love I found strength I never knew I had

Chorus
  E minor 7Em7
And this love

Take my hand, love

I'm taking you home
      D MajorD
Taking you home

Verse 2
     Bm7Bm7
There were days, lonely days
  F#m7F#m7
When the world wouldn't throw me a crumb

But I kept on believing
          AsusAsus
That this day would come

Chorus 2

  E minor 7Em7
And this love

I'm taking you home

I'm taking you  home

The tuning on this album version is about 3 cent above
standard concert tuning.
In order to play this song with the recording, it will
be necessary to sharpen the tuning on all 6 strings slightly.

I have included to fingerings for the G+G major chord. The second
one, a barre chord, is intended to be used with the GsusGsus that
precedes it.

This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. Since
U-G doesn't always include the correct chord voicings, I have
included all of them in this transcription. Please feel free to
