Home chords by Dolly Parton

G          D       Em        C
Lookin' out of my window pane, tears mingling with the rain

 G         D         Em     C
I'm so lonesome, I could cry just like old Hank

 G           D       Em          C
Staring down on the city street, feeling empty and incomplete

 G          D        Em     C
There's a place I need to be to fill my tank


  C
A place I can go where I can be free where I can be happy and just --- be me

 G    D      Em              C          G   D
Home, where the warm winds blowing and the rivers flowing a- long

    Em         C
Like a lazy bum in the mid-day sun

     G   D  Em               C
And I've gone fishin' with my pole at the fishin' hole

    C                  D
Where I can lay down my heavy load, and know that I am always --- welcome


 G          D   Em          C
I left home I was 17, I had a lot of am- bitious dreams

 G          D            Em     C
See a lot of those dreams come true, I've had good luck

 G           D         Em          C
I'm not complaining that's for sure, I got a lot to be thankful for

 G              D         Em    C
One of those things is the magic door that opens up


 C
Back to the time when I was a kid to the sound of the crickets and the Carry Dees


       G   D    Em             C
It's called home on the front porch swinging and fern pots hanging

 G   D     Em             C
Home with the church bells ringing and voices singing

 G   D       Em          C
Old songs that's in my mind like a stitch in time

      C                   D
Where the tea is sweet and the love's complete for me, I wanna go


 Am           G     D
I often think about where I have been

 Am           C     D
Where I am going and lots a- bout when I think about


 G    D      Em              C
Home, where the soul find comfort and the heart find pleasure

 G    D      Em        C
Home, where the depths of love is hard to measure

   G    D  Em           C
It's home, I hear you callin', I hear you callin'

   C                      D
I'll never be lost as long as I know there's a place like that where I can go


    C                  D
Where I can restore my weary soul on the mountain slopes of the south "Blue Smoke"


  G    D  Em  C      G  D   Em  C
Of home, home sweet home


 G   D  Em             C
Home back to the hills of the Whip-poor-wills

 G   D     Em               C
Home with the fire flies blinking and the night stars twinklin'

 G    D           Em      C
Home, honeysuckle vine and musky fine wine at

 G    D      Em           C
Home, where the ginseng grows in the shady groves of

 G    D   Em            C
Home, with family and friends and joy that never end

 G    D     Em        C            G
Home, there's no place like it, no place like it, home -----
