Back Home Again

Back Home Again Guitar Chords & Lyrics

 E E7 AThere's a storm across the valley, clouds are rolling in; B7 Ethe afternoon is heavy on your shoulders E E7 AThere's a truck out on the four lane, a mile or more away; B7 Ethe whining of his wheels just makes it colder E E7 AHe's an hour away from riding, on your prayers up in the sky; B7 Eand ten days on the road are barely gone E E7 AThere's a fire softly burning, supper's on the stove; B7 Ebut it's the light in your eyes that makes him warm A B7 E E7Hey, it's good to be back home again A B7 E ASometimes, this old farm, feels like a long lost friend, B7 Eyes, and hey it's good to be back home again E E7 AThere's all the news to tell him, how’d you spend your time; B7 Eand what's the latest thing the neighbors say? E E7 AAnd your mother called last Friday, Sunshine made her cry; B7 Eand you felt the baby move just yesterday A B7 E E7Hey, it's good to be back home again (yes it is)A B7 E ASometimes, this old farm, feels like a long lost friend, B7 Eyes, and hey it's good to be back home again A B7 E AAnd oh, the time that I can lay this tired old body down F#m B7 E E7and feel your fingers feather soft upon me A B7 E AThe kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way F#m A B7the happiness that living with you brings me E E7 AIt's the sweetest thing I know of, just spending time with you; B7 Eit's the little things that make a house a home E E7 ALike a fire softly burning, and supper on the stove; B7 Eand the light in your eyes that makes me warm A B7 E E7Hey, it's good to be back home again A B7 E ASometimes, this old farm, feels like a long lost friend, B7 Eyes, and hey it's good to be back home again A B7 E E7Hey, it's good to be back home again (you know it is)A B7 E A E7 ASometimes, this old farm, feels like a long lost friend, B7 Ehey it's good to be back home again B7 A Eyes, and hey it's good to be back home again
