Homecoming Party Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Leave my suitcase by the car I'll
bring it in in the mornin'
Stack my guitar case just
inside [F]the door[Dm]
Pet the dog too tired to wag his tail
Check the mail and walk on
down [G]the hallway
I've got to fix these old [C]floor boards
Wash up at the sink,
[G]glance in the mirror[Am]
Who is that [G]man who ain't been [F]here in
three long [E]weeks or maybe [Am]more?
[Dm]

[Verse 2]
All [G]this gettin' off the road has got me
ragged to the bone and coming home
There ain't no homecoming party
[C]

[Verse 3]
Pop a yellow pill,
the kind for sleepin' through
The sound of wakin' children when
the daylight starts [F]to show
And [C]it's si[Dm]lent up the carpet stairs
and peek into the nursery
Where the [G]little ones are
dreamin' sweet and [C]low
I can hear 'em cryin',
"daddy where you been?
[Am]And did you brin[G]g me back [Em]a present
[F]from a distant sun[C]ny shore?"
[Dm]

[Verse 4]
All [G]this gettin' off the road has got me ragged
to the bone and coming home
There ain't no homecoming party
[C]

[Verse 5]
[Am]Oh it's 10,000 places
[F]and 20,000 faces
And [G]half a million miles I'm bound to [C]row
And [Am]I'm weary and wasted,
and [F]all that I can taste is
[C]One[Dm] lonesome tear on the tip of my ton[G]gue
[C]She must've left the light on I'll just
slip into the bed and let it [F]burn
[Dm]And when our bodies touch I'l pull
away and not disturb her
Even [G]though I long for
love so much it hurts
[C]And maybe we won't argue
in the morn[Am]in'
We'll be mak[C]in' love and [F]just
let that [C]old [F]calen[C] dar turn
[Dm]

[Verse 6]
All [G]this gettin' off the road has got me
ragged to the bone and coming home

[Outro 1]
Sure ain't no homecoming party
[C][G][Am][G][C]
[G][Dm][G][C][G][Am][G]
[Dm][G][G][C][G][Am]
