Almost Home             Capo 3  Vince Gill/Guy Clark
AmHe was sitting in the cornerE  
AmAt a table all a lonEe
FA candle burnin' in the darkneCss
FHis glass of wine was almost goneE7  
AmSomething about him felt familiaEr
AmAnd it made me stop and stareE  
FThe way he held his hands before Chim
FLooked like he was lost in prayeEsusrE  
AmHey son, what are you starinEg at?
Amand why do your eyes look so sad?E  
FThere's something in the way he sat thereC  
FMade me think about my  dadE7  
Dm7I'm looking for the aGnswer
Dm7Just like everyGone
Dm7I know that there's no endGing
Dm7To the love between a father and a sonEsus  E7  
Hey son, why don't you pull up one of those empty chairs?
Bring it over here by my side
Maybe Buy me a glass of wine
This looks like a real good place to hide
You know I've always been a fisherman
Fishin' for souls along the way
and You kind of remind me of my only son
I lost him 33 years ago today
I'm looking for the answer
Just like everyone
I know that there's no ending
To the love between a father and a son
There's somethin' I must give you
It's a compass that my Father made
to point you in the right direction
In case you ever lose your way
You know I've got somethin' here in my pocket
It’s just an old silver cross
I think my son would want you to have it
When you think all hope is lost
We're looking for the answer
Just like everyone
I know that there's no ending
To the love between a father and a son
I left him sitting at his table
But I didn't feel alone
For a moment I could see the light
FOh we Gwere almost homeAm  
FFor a moment I could see the lighCt
F    G                      Am(addD)
Oh we were almost home
