[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][G][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]I've been a
traveler [G]most of my [D]life
[G]I n[D]eve[A]r took a home
and I [D]never took a [G]wife[D]
Ran away young and [G]I decided to r[D]oam
[G]I w[D]ant to see my momma
and my daddy back [G]home
Home where the [D]river runs cold
The [A]water tastes good
and the [D]winters ain't [G]cold
Home where the [D]trees grow tall
The [A]home fires burn
and the [D]whippoorwills [G]call[D][G][D]
I remember stories that my
[G]pappy used to [D]tell[G]
[D]My eye[A]s would get big
and his [D]chest would really [G]swell
[D]I could sit for hours and[G] listen with gle[D]e[G]
[D]As he'd tell us how he lived
when he was a boy like [G]me[D]
[G]Home where the riv[D]er runs cold
The [A]water tastes good
and the [D]winters ain't cold
[G]Home where the tre[D]es grow tall
The [A]bonfires burn
and the [D]whippoorwills [G]call[D][G]
[D]Mama, dear Mama,
do [G]you still love your [D]boy?[G][D]
Af[A]ter my roaming
will [D]I still bring you [G]joy?
[D]Mama said a letter [G]got her not so long [D]ago[G]
[D]Said, come on home, son,
I'm missing you [G]so.
Home, where the [D]river runs cold.
The [A]water tastes good
and the [D]winters ain't [G]cold.
Home, where the [D]trees grow tall.
The [A]home fires burn
and the [D]whippoorwills [G]call.
Home, where the [D]river runs cold.
The [A]water tastes good
and the [D]winters ain't [G]cold.
Home, where the [D]trees grow tall.
Oh, [A]the fire's burning,
but [D]the wind's gone
Home, [G]away the river runs cold
