"Home Sweet Home"
by Kenneth Aaron Harris
'Brooklyn'
Capo on 4th
***For simplicity, all F chords are actually Fmaj7***
C
F Am G
An open road in a southern wind
F G
Took me off my course from where I never should've been
C F Am G
And I missed my folks and I missed my friends
F G G7
But I think it's you that I will miss most in the end
C E7 Am F C G
A cold midwestern storm starts to blow
C E7 Am F C G
A voice down in my soul said time to go
Dm Am
Across the jagged mountains to sea that shaped their stones
G F
To a sleepy southern town that seemed to hide out on the coast
C F C G C
That we call home, home sweet home
F Am G
With a boastful heart and a lack of common sense
F G
Don't know how I found something so many others missed
C F Am G
Such simple times till we complicated them
F G G7
But we won't lie awake at night and think what might've been
C E7 Am F C G
A fading southern ghost said time to go
C E7 Am F C G
The flooded summer streets, time to leave
Dm Am
So we fell into the ocean and drifted up the coast
G F
Washed up in a town they say would swallow us up whole
C F C G
That we call home, home sweet home
Am F
And new starts, cold hearts we got in return
C E7
Seems a shame the hard way is the one way that I learn
Am F
This cutthroat business is none of my concern
C G G7
I could sit back quietly and watch this city... burn
C E7 Am F C G
Cause this town it feeds on dreams and it's time to leave
C E7 Am F C G
The bright lights and the tourist traps said don't come back
Dm Am
So we're following our headlights into the great unknown
G F
Looking for something that we could not find on our own
C F C G
That we call home, home sweet home
C F C G C
That we call home, home sweet home
