Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
G    D    F C  G

Verse:
N.C.      G                               D
There and back I have travelled, here and there I have walked
         F          C                            D
And I've found more beauty than I ever would had thought
      G                         D
But I still dream often of that place I know
         F        C            F      C    G
A-deeper in my bones than most places ever go

Chorus:
      Em                        C    G
I can see home shining like a silver star
       Em                        C      G
A-like paradise calling me from, oh, so far
       Em                   C
When I shade my eyes, I can just make it out
            D                                     C
A long dirt road, a faithful dog and an old white house
            D                           F         G
A long dirt road, a faithful dog and an old white house

Verse:
N.C. G                           D
I survived all the bustle, but I still like the lights
           F            C                             D
And I have stared up in wonder at a-countless shining nights
       G                          D
But no matter where I go, I find, there I am
          F             C         F    C        G
Still the same old stranger in an even stranger land

Chorus:
      Em                        C    G
I can see home shining like a silver star
       Em                        C      G
A-like paradise calling me from, oh, so far
       Em                   C
When I shade my eyes, I can just make it out
            D                                     C
A long dirt road, a faithful dog and an old white house
            D                           F         G
A long dirt road, a faithful dog and an old white house

Bridge:
D                         F        C           G
Yesterdays are many and tomorrow's filled with doubt
      D                                     F     C   G
And I still don't know what this whole damn thing is about
        D                         F      C       G
But you are what you are and it's better to find out
        F  C        G            D
What it is that you love most of all

Verse:
       G                        D
I have often hungered for the way you feel
        F               C                            D
And the smell of summer thunder and the quiet winter fields
       G                           D
I have walked with madness and lay down with lies
         F              C          F      C       G
And I've learned how to stand, but better yet, to fly

Instrumental:

Verse:
N.C.   G                            D
I have loved so many things in this great wide world
        F                C                                 D
But the simple sounds of home are the sweetest things I've heard
          G                              D
For right here the means are humble, but hearts are proud
      F                   C             F     C   G
And I don't mind standing up and saying right out loud

Chorus:
           Em                        C    G
That I can see home shining like a silver star
       Em                        C      G
A-like paradise calling me from, oh, so far
       Em                   C
When I shade my eyes, I can just make it out
            D                                     C
A long dirt road, a faithful dog and an old white house
            D                           F         G
A long dirt road, a faithful dog and an old white house
