Back Home Again chords *
John Denver 1974
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_Home_Again_(John_Denver_album)
[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E E7 A
There's a storm across the valley, clouds are rolling in;
B7 E
the afternoon is heavy on your shoulders
E E7 A
There's a truck out on the four lane, a mile or more away;
B7 E
the whining of his wheels just makes it colder
[Verse 2]
E E7 A
He's an hour away from riding, on your prayers up in the sky;
B7 E
and ten days on the road are barely gone
E E7 A
There's a fire softly burning, supper's on the stove;
B7 E E7
but it's the light in your eyes that makes him warm
[Chorus]
A B7 E E7
Hey, it's good to be back home again
A B7 E A
Sometimes, this old farm, feels like a long lost friend,
B7 E E7
yes, and hey it's good to be back home again
[Verse 3]
E E7 A
There's all the news to tell him, how’d you spend your time;
B7 E E7
and what's the latest thing the neighbors say?
E E7 A
And your mother called last Friday, Sunshine made her cry;
B7 E E7
and you felt the baby move just yesterday
[Chorus]
A B7 E E7
Hey, it's good to be back home again (yes it is)
A B7 E A
Sometimes, this old farm, feels like a long lost friend,
B7 E E7
yes, and hey it's good to be back home again
[Bridge]
A B7 E A
And oh, the time that I can lay this tired old body down
F#m B7 E E7
and feel your fingers feather soft upon me
A B7 E A
The kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way
F#m A B7
the happiness that living with you brings me
[Verse 4]
E E7 A
It's the sweetest thing I know of, just spending time with you;
B7 E
it's the little things that make a house a home
E E7 A
Like a fire softly burning, and supper on the stove;
B7 E E7
and the light in your eyes that makes me warm
[Chorus]
A B7 E E7
Hey, it's good to be back home again
A B7 E A
Sometimes, this old farm, feels like a long lost friend,
B7 E E7
yes, and hey it's good to be back home again
[Chorus]
A B7 E E7
Hey, it's good to be back home again (you know it is)
A B7 E A E7 A
Sometimes, this old farm, feels like a long lost friend,
B7 E E7
hey it's good to be back home again
[Outro]
B7 A E
yes, and hey it's good to be back home again
