[Intro 1]
[G][F][C][G][F][C]

[Verse 1]
[G]She opened up the
[D]let[C]ter from [D]Nashville Ten[G]nessee
He said hon they like my [C]mu [D]sic the songs
I wrote for you and [G]me
The boys and me just cut a [C]record and it could hit
the charts before too [G]long
So it's gonna [D]be a while till I can
come back [G]home[F][C]
[G]Yes I'm gonna be a cou[C]ntry star and
everyone will know my [G]name
Oh you know I love those [D]bright lights
when I step on stage to [G]sing[F][C]
[G]I'll be travlin' round the cou[C]ntry
with a big bus and a [G]band
So just keep the [D]homefires
burnin' while I'm gone
And I'll get home when I can
[G]

[Verse 2]
[C]She[G] said hon I hear your re cor[D]d
[C]oh they pla[D]y it everyday[G]
And everybody really [C]likes [G]it[C]
[D]so I guess your on your way[G]
But darling please [C]re member we all
need you here at [G]home
And the kids all miss their [D]daddy so
don't be gone [G]too [F]long[C]
[G]Yes I know that your a cou[C]ntry star
and everybody knows your [G]name
And I know you love those [D]bright lights when you
step on stage to [G]sing[F][C]
[G]Just remember we [C]all love you and
don't get blinded by the [G]light
We'll just keep the [D]homefires
burnin' while you're gone
You know we pray for you each
[G]night[F][C][G][Ab][Gb]

[Verse 3]
[Ab]After six long months of goin'[Eb] I gue[Db]ss the road
[Eb]just finally took it[Ab]s toll
Cause his songs has lost [Db]all meaning
[Eb]and he felt so all alone[Ab]
Then one night in [Db]Jackson he went
out on stage [Ab]to play
And the crowd stared at [Eb]disbelief
at the words he had to [Ab]say[Gb]
[Ab]I don't want to be a count[Db]ry star it
ain't the way I thought it'd [Ab]be
Well it took me such a [Eb]long time to know
that it ain't the life for [Ab]me[Gb][Db]
[Ab]Cause the days can get so lone[Db]ly
and the nights can get so [Ab]long
Lord I think it's about [Eb]time this
country star went [Ab]home[Db]
[Ab]Yes I think that it's about time[Eb]
this country boy went [Ab]home[Gb][Db]
