Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]I'm [D]afra[Em]id t[D]o g[Em]o home[D][Em]
I'm [D]afraid to [Em]go home
Worries on my [Am]mind
Afraid of what I'll [Em]find

[Verse 2]
Will my family be [Em]gone[D]
[Em]I'm afra[D]id to go h[Em]ome
Back to Ten[Am]nessee
Afraid of what I'll [Em]see

[Verse 3]
As I [G]walk down this dusty road
Got a [Em]heart with a heavy load
Ain't a [Am]thing that's [D]the same
So much [G]sorrow and [D]pain

[Verse 4]
Heading [G]home in a single file
Every [Em]inch is a quarter mile
Ain't heard [Am]nobody [D]sing
Ain't seen [G]one living thing
[Em]Someone's waiting for me

[Verse 5]
Honey [D]sweet as [Em]can be
Wanna hold her [Am]tight
Lord, make her be all [Em]right

[Verse 6]
Maybe 'round the next [Em]bend
All the ashes'll end
Valleys will be [Am]green
Instead of what I've [Em]seen

[Verse 7]
I'm [G]afraid for the scrubby pine
Aw, the [Em]sweet honeysuckle vine
I'm [Am]afraid for my [D]home
For the fields that [G]I r[D]oamed

[Verse 8]
Kick [G]along down a homeward road
And your [Em]heart's gotta take the load
I'm [Am]afraid to go [D]home
I'm [G]afraid to [C]go [G]home
[Em]Sherman's been in my town

[Verse 9]
Burned it all to the ground
Now there's not [Am]a tree
'Tween Memphis and [Em]the sea
Now there's not a [Am]tree
'Tween Memphis and the [Em]sea
