Flies on the Butter (You Can't Go Home Again) Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Em][C][D][G]

[Verse 1]
Old tin [G]roof,
leaves in the [Em]gutter
A hole in [C]the screen door
big as your [D]fist
And flies on the but[G]ter

[Verse 2]
Mama baking [G]sugar cookies,
we were watching car[Em]toons
I heard her holler from the kit[C]chen
"Which one of [D]you youngen's wants
to lick [G]the spoon?"

[Verse 3]
[D]Yellow jackets on the wat[G]ermelon,
honeysuckle in the [Em]air
Daddy turning on [C]the sprinkler
Us kids running [Em]through
it [D]in our underwear
[G]

[Verse 4]
[D]Old dog napping on [G]the front porch,
his [Em]ear just a twitching
Fell asleep [C]on granddaddy's lap
To [D]the sound of his pocket
[G]watch ticking

[Verse 5]
[C]Oh, [D]oh,[G] it doesn't seem
[C]like it was all[D] that long ago[G]
[C]Oh, [D]oh,
[G]you[Em] can dream ab[C]out it every now and then[D]
But you can't go [G]home again
[Em]

[Verse 6]
Me and my [D]best friend [G]Jenny
set up a backyard [Em]camp
Stole one of mama's mason [C]jars
Poked holes in [D]the lid
and made a firefly [G]lamp

[Verse 7]
[D]Me and Billy Monroe[G],
sneaking [Em]down by the river
I'm still haunted [C]by the taste of [D]the kiss
I was [G]too scared to give him

[Verse 8]
[C]Oh, [D]oh,[G] it doesn't seem
[C]like it was all[D] that long ago[G]
[C]Oh, [D]oh,
[G]you[Em] can dream ab[C]out it every now and then[D]
But you can't go [C]home

[Interlude 1]
again
[C][D][C][D]

[Verse 9]
There's a [G]blacktop road,
a faded [Em]yellow centerline
It can take you [C]back to the place
But [D]it can't take you [G]back in time
[Em]Oh,[C]

[Verse 10]
[D]oh,[G] it doesn't seem
[C]like it was all[D] that long ago[G]
[C]Oh, [D]oh,
[Bm]you [Em]can dream abo[C]ut it every now and then[D]
But you can't go home [G]again

[Verse 11]
Old tin [G]roof, leaves in the gut[Em]ter
A hole in [C]the screen door big as your [D]fist
And flies on the butter
[G][C]
