Comfort Me chords by Ron Pope

Intro:
G Em D G


Verse 1:
G
Little church on William Street
                     Em
They head to tear it down
           G
My brother calls once in a while
             Em
But he don't come around
            G
I hear they changed my high school's name
                         Em
Can't remember what it's called
               D
I guess I'm a stranger in this place
                       G
It's not my hometown anymore

Chorus:
               G
So I drink my whiskey straight
               Em
And I take my coffee black
           D
When I ran away from home
                    G
I never thought I'd make it back
              G
And my mother prayed for me
                      Em
Each night before she went to sleep
            D
I wish that she was here
             G
So she could comfort me


Verse 2:
                      G
Things you wish would stay the same
                          Em
It seems like they're the first to change
                  G
Fields we used to run and laugh in
                      Em
Now they're someone's real estate
                G
And everyone I used to know
           Em
Is like a ghost to me these days
                     D
And I don't think I have much else
                G
That they could take away


Chorus:
               G
So I drink my whiskey straight
               Em
And I take my coffee black
           D
When I ran away from home
                    G
I never thought I'd make it back
              G
And my mother prayed for me
                      Em
Each night before she went to sleep
            D
I wish that she was here
             G
So she could comfort me


Chorus:
               G
So I drink my whiskey straight
               Em
And I take my coffee black
           D
When I ran away from home
                    G
I never thought I'd make it back
              G
And my mother prayed for me
                      Em
Each night before she went to sleep
            D
I wish that she was here
             G
So she could comfort me
