Tift Merritt - Still Not Home
INTRO: C  
Jesus at the table in the early Fmorn'
"Dad, I've been thinking I got to get Cborn
Got to mean something heavy to somebody someFwhere
I don't know who I am, but I can't stay Chere"
I didn't Gmean to stand up, I didn't mean to dayCdream
I Gdidn't want to hear it calling my Cname
FRegular life don't suit me at Call
Oh, I Ggotta get going, I'm Fstill not Chome
Oh, I Gtry so hard and I'm Fstill not Chome
Robert Johnson was trembling, calling for Fhelp
At the edge of the field talking to himCself
Not a woman, not a dollar, not even his Fsoul
Feels as good in his hands as that old guiCtar
He say, "GNobody sees how desperate I'm Ctorn
I Gfeel like I'm crazy the way that I'm Cgoing
Don't Fknow if it's from up high or way down Clow
Oh, I Gtry so hard and I'm Fstill not Chome
Hey, I Ggotta get going and I'm Fstill not Chome
BRIDGE:
You know that Fache's grown so faCmiliar
How many Ftimes I got to shoo it from my Cdoor
Putting the Fshine on the far side of the Criver
Oh, Gcome round to bruise me up a little bit more
Come round to bruise me up just a little bit Cmore
INSTRUMENTAL:     C      F      C      F    C  
One day I'm gonna light like a season of Fgreen
And my heart is gonna run like a flying maCchine
Lipstick and a nickel in the pocket of my Fcoat
And I won't even care if I never come Cback
GAll the windows open and the wind like Cwheels
GNobody can tell you the way that it Cfeels
Oh, but Flord, if you could see the way I'm gonna Csoar
Oh, I Ggotta get going, I'm Fstill not Chome
Oh, I Gbest be going, I'm Fstill not Chome
Oh, I Gtry so hard and I'm Fstill not Chome
Oh, I Ggotta get going, I'm Fstill not Chome

Tift Merritt - Still Not Home

INTRO:

Jesus at the table in the early morn'

"Dad, I've been thinking I got to get born

Got to mean something heavy to somebody somewhere

I don't know who I am, but I can't stay here"

G C

I didn't mean to stand up, I didn't mean to daydream

G C

I didn't want to hear it calling my name

F C

Regular life don't suit me at all

G F C

Oh, I gotta get going, I'm still not home

G F C

Oh, I try so hard and I'm still not home

Robert Johnson was trembling, calling for help

At the edge of the field talking to himself

Not a woman, not a dollar, not even his soul

Feels as good in his hands as that old guitar

I feel like I'm crazy the way that I'm going

You know that ache's grown so familiar

Putting the shine on the far side of the river

Oh, come round to bruise me up a little bit more

Come round to bruise me up just a little bit more

C F C F C

INSTRUMENTAL:

One day I'm gonna light like a season of green

And my heart is gonna run like a flying machine

Lipstick and a nickel in the pocket of my coat

And I won't even care if I never come back

G C

All the windows open and the wind like wheels

G C

Nobody can tell you the way that it feels

F C

Oh, but lord, if you could see the way I'm gonna soar

Oh, I gotta get going, I'm still not home

G F C

Oh, I best be going, I'm still not home

G F C
