Rhythm tips ↓-↓↓↑

There’s a [A]storm across the [A7]valley, [D]clouds are rolling in the [E7]afternoon is heavy on your [A]shoulders. There’s a [A]truck out on the [A7]four lane, a [D]mile or more away the [E7]whining of his wheels just makes it [A]colder.

He’s an [A]hour away from [A7]riding on your [D]prayers up in the sky and [E7]ten days on the road are barely [A]gone. There’s a [A]fire softly [A7]burning; [D]supper’s on the stove but it’s the [E7]light in your eyes that makes him [A]warm. [A7]

[D]Hey, it’s good to [E7]be back home a[A]gain [A7] [D]Sometimes [E7]this old farm feels [A]like a long lost [D]friend Yes, ‘n, [E7]hey it’s good to be back home [A]again

After [A]all the news to [A7]tell him: [D]how you spent your time; and [E7]what’s the latest thing the neighbors [A]say; and your [A]mother called last [A7]friday; [D]“sunshine” made her cry; and you [E7]felt the baby move just yester[A]day.

[D]Hey, it’s good to [E7]be back home a[A]gain [A7] [D]Sometimes [E7]this old farm feels [A]like a long lost [D]friend Yes, ‘n, [E7]hey it’s good to be back home [A]again

And [D]oh, the time that [E7]I can lay this tired [A]old body [D]down and feel your fingers [E7]feather soft up[A]on me [A7]; the [D]kisses that I [E7]live for; the [A]love that lights my way [D]; the [Bm]happiness that [D]living with you [E7]brings me.

It’s the [A]sweetest thing I [E7]know of, just [D]spending time with you It’s the [E7]little things that make a house a [A]home. Like a [A]fire softly [A7]burning and [D]supper on the stove. And the [E7]light in your eyes that makes me [A]warm.

[D]Hey, it’s good to [E7]be back home a[A]gain [A7] [D]Sometimes [E7]this old farm [A]feels like a long lost [D]friend Yes, ‘n, [E7]hey it’s good to be back home a[A]gain Yes, ‘n, [E7]hey it’s good to be back home a[D]ga[A]in
