VERSE:

A D

When I was younger

My daddy used to tell me to watch my mouth

When you're raising cane

You can't help the way some words come out

F#m

I had some four letter jams

E D A

That got me into a world of hurt

When I got older

I figured out

There's some four letter words

You can't live without

CHORUS:

I'm talking 'bout home

C#m

Where the dirt road ends

D A

You can lay down your head

F#m

I'm talkin' 'bout life

When it shines so bright

D A

The dream begins

Talkin' 'bout love

C#m

When you meet someone

D B

Who becomes your whole world

Some of the prettiest things

I've ever heard

A C#m D D A

Are four letter words

VERSE:

I've seen beautiful ol' sunsets

Out on the West Coast

Filled the Smoky Mountain rake

On down the nice end slope

F#m E

I have walked through the valley

D A

Where the sky turned black

But I got through

Because I knew

These four letter words

Would get me by

CHORUS:

I'm talking 'bout home

C#m

Where the dirt road ends

D A

You can lay down your head

F#m

I'm talkin' 'bout life

When it shines so bright

D A

The dream begins

Talkin' 'bout love

C#m

When you meet someone

D B

Who becomes your whole world

Some of the prettiest things

I've ever heard

Are four letter words

BREAK:

Bm C#m D

And when I'm lost and older

A E

I run so far behind

A E

I find comfort in these words

A E

Everytime

CHORUS:

Home

C#m

Where the dirt road ends

D A

You can lay down your head

And life

When it shines so bright

D A

The dream begins

Talkin' 'bout love

C#m

When you meet someone

Who becomes your whole world

Some of the prettiest things

I've ever heard

Are four letter words

Some of the prettiest things

I've ever heard

Are four letter words
