CAPO 3RD John Prine My Darling Hometown
Intro: John plays A but I think A7 works well to
D EM A7 D X2
D EM
Far away over the sea
A7 D
There's a river that's calling to me
D EM
That river she runs all around
A7 D
The place that I call my hometown
D EM
There's a valley on the side of the hill
A7 D
And flowers on an old windowsill
D EM
A familiar old picture it seems
A7 D
And I'll go there tonight in my dreams
G
Where it's green in the summer
D
And gold in the fall
E
Her eyes are as blue
A7 HOLD FOR 2 BARS
As the sky I recall
D EM
Far away over the sea
A7 D
There's a place at the table for me
D EM
Where laughter and music abound
A7 D
Just waiting there in my hometown
G
The river she freezes
D
When there's snow on the ground
E
And the children can slide
A7 HOLD FOR 2 BARS
To the far side of town
(Repeat Intro)
D EM
Far away far away me
A7 D
Hung up on a sweet memory
D EM
I'm lost and I wish I were found
A7 D
In the arms of my darlin' hometown
G
With the evening sun sittin'
D
On the top of the hill
E
And the mockingbird answering
A7 HOLD FOR 2 BARS
The old chapel bell
D EM
Far away over the sea
A7 D
My heart is longing to be
D EM
And I wish I could lay myself down
A7 D
In the arms of my darlin' hometown
D EM A7 D
