          G+G
Ah, one, two ... (break)


Verse:
    Cadd9Cadd9             A7sus4A7sus4
She was counting out the window of an outbound train
    G+G
All the poles of the telegraph
    Cadd9Cadd9          A7sus4A7sus4
And the rock-a-bye rhythm in the song of the rails
     G+G        Cadd9Cadd9
Couldn't make the sweeper laugh

Bridge:
B minorBm          A minorAm
Down, down, down, so deep
B minorBm             D MajorD
Down, down, drowning in his sleep


Chorus:
C majorC    A minorAm   G+G      | G+G |
Tommy's coming home again
       (break)   (build up)


Verse:
   Cadd9Cadd9           A7sus4A7sus4
And a hawk hovered high above a skinny jackrabbit
  G+G
Pursued by a hungry fox
   Cadd9Cadd9          A7sus4A7sus4
And a broker awoke her from a fitful slumber
  G+G             Cadd9Cadd9
Consulted his shares and his stocks


Bridge:
B minorBm           A minorAm
Down, down, down, they go
B minorBm             D MajorD
Down down - how he'll never know

Chorus:
C majorC    A minorAm   G+G
Tommy's coming home again
     C majorC   A minorAm      E minorEm
And it's almost April Fools' Day


Verse:
   Cadd9Cadd9            A7sus4A7sus4
As he glanced on his paper looking through the veil
     G+G
He could see she was really upset
    Cadd9Cadd9            A7sus4A7sus4
As she tucked back the ribbon in a velvet box
   G+G         Cadd9Cadd9
As he offered her a cigarette


Bridge:
B minorBm              A minorAm
Down, down, down, she took a drag
B minorBm          D MajorD
Now he's covered in a flag


Chorus:
C majorC    A minorAm   G+G
Tommy's coming home again
     C majorC   A minorAm      E minorEm
And it's almost April Fools' Day


Middle 8:
G+G   Cadd9Cadd9    G+G
Almost April Fools' Day
    Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
And the joke's on everyone
  B minorBm     E minorEm
He had that premonition
   A augmentedA        D MajorD
Only dead men dwell upon


Verse:
   Cadd9Cadd9            A7sus4A7sus4
Well, how could he know that only twelve months later
     G+G
She would wear her skirt up over her knee
      Cadd9Cadd9            A7sus4A7sus4
And in the very same carriage she'd be flattened with roses
    G+G          Cadd9Cadd9
And forget the tears of bigotry


Bridge:
B minorBm           A minorAm
Down, down, down, they flow
B minorBm                D MajorD
Down, down, down - it just don't matter anymore


Chorus:
C majorC    A minorAm   G+G
Tommy's made it home again
      C majorC   A minorAm      E minorEm
When it was almost April Fools' Day


[Middle 8:
G+G   Cadd9Cadd9    G+G
Almost April Fools' Day
    Cadd9Cadd9     G+G
And the joke's on everyone
  B minorBm     E minorEm
He had that premonition
   A augmentedA        D MajorD
Only dead men dwell upon


Coda:

Tommy's coming home again

Tommy's coming home
