Chord reference C, G
Rhythm tips ↓-↓↑-↑↓↑

[C] [G] [C] [C]I don’t have the glasses to hold the champagne To celebrate the moment you’re in my [G]arms again I don’t the [G]breath to blow the balloons All that I’m hoping is you’re coming home [C]soon

[C]I don’t have the bunting or supply of cigars The ‘Welcome Home’ banners to hang from [G]the bars All that I [G]have is these arms that I own To put ’round your waist and pull you back [C]home

[C]Strike out the fanfare, she’s coming home [F]soon And all that I own is this untidy [C]room Bed for my sleeping, table for [G]tea And love makes you happy, apparent[C]ly

[C]I can’t hold the tears to write you this song To welcome you back after loving you so [G]long And I ain’t got the [G]money to buy you the ride To get you from there to here by my [C]side

[C]Strike out the fanfare, she’s coming home [F]soon And all that I own is this untidy [C]room Bed for my sleeping, table for [G]tea And love makes you happy, apparent[C]ly

As I [F]wait at the station, a [C]rose in my hand [F]I don’t have a choir or a [C]military band [F]Glass made to shatter, [C]eggs made to break But sure as I’m standing, [G]a heart’s made to ache

[C]Strike out the fanfare, she’s coming home [F]soon And all that I own is this untidy [C]room Bed for my sleeping, table for [G]tea And love makes you happy, apparent[C]ly

And love makes you happy, apparent[C]ly Love makes you happy, apparent[C]ly [G]And love makes you happy, apparent[C]ly…
