C majorC   E minorEm   FF
A augmentedA long way it is from Montana

C majorC            D7D7     G7G7
To west Texas whether by hoof or by rail

C majorC   E minorEm   FF
A augmentedA long way it is from Alzada

C majorC              G7G7     C majorC
To innocence lost somewhere out on the trail


  E minorEm    FF
My heart is lonesome and longing

C majorC              D7D7      G7G7
My comrades are gone on the first morning train

C majorC   E minorEm      FF
And my heart hears a boyhood hymn calling

C majorC                  G7G7     C majorC
From a church down the valley comes this old refrain

C majorC          FF    C majorC
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling

A minorAm     D7D7     G7G7
Calling for you and for me

C majorC            FF      C majorC
See on the portals He's waiting and watching

     FF  C majorC  G7G7   C majorC
Watching for you and for me


  E minorEm  FF
Too many autumns I've watched 'em

C majorC                D7D7       G7G7
Board trains with their plunder all headed for home

C majorC    E minorEm  FF
And too many autumns I've stayed here

C majorC               G7G7      C majorC
To snap out the new ones 'fore winter comes on

   E minorEm   FF
And I wonder who's waiting for them

C majorC           D7D7       G7G7
A augmentedA sweetheart a lover a young wife with babe

C majorC   E minorEm  FF
But I know who's waiting for me

A augmentedA mother and father who's hair has turned to gray


   G7G7    C majorC A minorAm
Come home come home

D7D7          G7G7
Wanderin' cowboy come home

C majorC         FF      C majorC
Earnestly tenderly I hear them calling

A minorAm   FF  C majorC  G7G7   C majorC
My son it's time to come home


   E minorEm    FF
I've lingered long in this country

C majorC             D7D7       G7G7
From high thunder basin to where rim lands start

C majorC    E minorEm    FF
And I've lingered too long a sinner

C majorC            G7G7      C majorC
It's time that I pack up and follow my heart


    E minorEm FF
A augmentedA long way it is from Alzada

C majorC              D7D7     G7G7
To a little sod house on the west Texas plains

C majorC   E minorEm FF
A augmentedA long way it is from Montana

C majorC             G7G7       C majorC
But I'm going home on the next southbound train


    E minorEm FF     C majorC
