BACK HOME AGAIN

(C)There's a storm across the (C7)valley,

(F)clouds are rollin' (Dm)in,

The (G7)afternoon is heavy on your (C)shoulders.(G7)

There's a (C)truck out on the (C7)four lane

a (F)mile or more a(Dm)way,

The (G7)whinin' of his wheels just makes it (C)colder.(G7)

(C)He's an hour a way from (C7)ridin'

On your (F)prayers up in the (Dm)sky,

And (G7)ten days on the road are barely (C)gone.(G7)

There's a(C) fire softly (C7)burnin',

(F)Supper's on the (Dm)stove,

But it's the(G7) light in your eyes that makes him (C)warm(C7)

Chorus:

(F)Hey it's good to (G7)be back home a(C)gain

(F)Sometimes (G7)this old farm(C) feels like a long lost (F)friend.

Yes 'n'(G7) hey, it's good to be back home a(C)gain.

(C)There's all the news to (C7)tell him,

(F)how'd you spend your (Dm)time.

(G7)What's the latest things the neighbours (C)say.(G7)

And your (C)mother called last (C7)Friday,

(F)sunshine made her (Dm)cry.

And you(Dm) felt the baby move just yester(C)day.(C7)

Chorus.

It's the (C)sweetest thing I (C7)know of,

Just (F)spending time with (Dm)you.

It's the (G7)little things that make a house a(C) home.(G7)

Like the (C)fire softly (C7)burning

(F)Supper on the(Dm) stove.

The (G7)light in your eyes that makes me (C)warm(C7)

Chorus twice.

Yes 'n'(G7) hey, it's good to be back home a(C)gain.

Yes 'n' (G7)hey, it's good to be back home a(F)ga(C)in.

(C)Put another nickel in,
in the nickelodeon,
(D7)All I want is (G7)loving you and mu(C)sic, music, music.

(C)I'd do anything for you,
anything you'd want me to
(D7)All I want is (G7)loving you and mu(C)sic, music, music.

Bridge:
(F)Closer, (G7)my dear come clo(C)ser
The nicest (G7)part of any melody
Is (C)when you're dan(A7)cing close (Fm)to me.(G7)

(C)So put another nickel
in the nickelodeon
(D7)All I want is (G7)loving you and music, music, music.

Sing twice and repeat the last line to finish.
