Verse:
    E MajorE
Well a poor boy took his father's bread and started down the road

Started down the road
A augmentedA                   E MajorE
Took all he had and started down the road
   A augmentedA                 E MajorE
Going out in this world, where God only knows
  B7B7            E MajorE
And that'll be the way to get along
   E MajorE
Well poor boy spent all he had, famine come in the land

Famine come in the land
   A augmentedA                 E MajorE
Spent all he had and famine come in the land
   A augmentedA                   E MajorE
Said, "I believe I'll go and hire me to some man"
  B7B7
And that'll be the way I'll get along
   E MajorE
Well, man said, "I'll give you a job for to feed my swine

For to feed my swine
   A augmentedA               E MajorE
I'll give you a job for to feed my swine"
A augmentedA                   E MajorE
Boy stood there and hung his head and cried
   B7B7
Cause that is no way to get along
   E MajorE
Said, "I believe I'll ride, believe I'll go back home

Believe I'll go back home
A augmentedA                    E MajorE
Believe I'll ride, believe I'll go back home
  A augmentedA               E MajorE
Or down the road as far as I can go"
  B7B7
And that'll be the way to get along
   E MajorE
Well, father said, "See my son coming home to me

Coming home to me"
A augmentedA                E MajorE
Father ran and fell down on his knees
    A augmentedA                  E MajorE
Said, "Sing and praise, Lord have mercy on me"
B7B7
Mercy...
  E MajorE
Oh poor boy stood there, hung his head and cried

Hung his head and cried
A augmentedA                  E MajorE
Poor boy stood and hung his head and cried
   A augmentedA                E MajorE
Said, "Father will you look on me as a child?"
B7B7
Yeah....
   E MajorE
Well father said, "Eldest son, kill the fatted calf,

Call the family round
A augmentedA                  E MajorE
Kill that calf and call the family round
A augmentedA               E MajorE
My son was lost but now he is found
B7B7
Cause that's the way for us to get along"
B7B7    E MajorE
Hey -------
