Fsus F
My first day of recess
Bb F
They all laughed at me
Am
When I fell off the swing set
Bb
And scraped up my knee.
Fsus F
The nurse called my mama
Bb F
To say I'd be late
Am
And when she gave me the phone
Bb C
I could hear mama say,
Bb F/A
I'm so sorry, son
C Bb
Oh I think you're so brave
F/A Bb Csus, C
And she was smiling when she said
Chorus:
F
When you come home
C
No matter how far
Dm C Bb Csus, C
Run through the door and into my arms
F
It's where you are loved
C
It's where you belong
Dm - C - Bb
And I will be here
C Fsus - F - Bb - Bb minor
When you come home
Verse Two:
Fsus F
I waved good-bye through the window
Bb F
As I boarded the plane
Am Bb
My first job in Houston was waiting for me
Fsus F
I found a letter from mama
Bb F
Tucked in my coat
Am
And as I flew down the runway
Bb C
I smiled when she wrote
Bb F/A
I miss you son
C Bb
You'll be so far away
F/A Bb - Csus, C
But I'll be waiting for the day
(Chorus)
Fsus F
Well I don't think she can hear you now
Fsus F
The doctor told me.
Am
Your mother is fading
Bb
It's best that you leave
Fsus F
So I whispered I love you
Fsus F
And then turned away
Am
But I stopped at the door
Bb C
When I heard mama say
Bb F/A
I love you son
C Bb
But they're callin' me away
F/A Dbsus - Csus, C
Promise me before I go
(Chorus)
