(since Gmaj7/F# takes a bunch of space to write, I'll just refer to it at G7
in the chords.)
(This is how I play this song acoustic. Obviously all the C and Cmaj chords are
interchangeable (likewise with G and Gmaj), but I just gave my preference as
sometimes it's easier or sounds better to me to use a certain one.)
[Intro]
G G7 C Cmaj
G G7 C Cmaj
[Verse 1]
G G7 C Cmaj
I'm in the sky tonight
G G7 C Cmaj
There I can keep by your side
G G7 C A7
Watching the wide world riot and hiding out
C D Gmaj
I'll be coming home next year
G G7 C Cmaj
Into the sun we climb
G G7 C Cmaj
Climbing our wings will burn white
G G7 C
Everyone strapped in tight
A7
We'll ride it out
C D Gmaj
I'll be coming home next year
[Chorus]
Cmaj Gmaj
Come on get on, get on
Cmaj Gmaj
Take it 'til life runs out
Cmaj
No one can find us now
A7 D
Living with our heads underground
[Verse 2]
G G7 C Cmaj
Into the night we shine
G G7 C Cmaj
Lighting the way we glide by
G G7 C
Catch me if I get too high
A7
When I come down
C D Gmaj
I'll be coming home next year
[Verse 3]
G G7 C Cmaj
I'm in the sky tonight
G G7 C Cmaj
There I can keep by your side
G G7 C A7
Watching the whole world wind around and round
C D Gmaj
I'll be coming home next year
[Chorus]
Cmaj Gmaj
Come on get on, get on
Cmaj Gmaj
Take it 'til life runs out
Cmaj
No one can find us now
A7 D
Living with our heads underground
[Bridge]
Gmaj D C
I'll be coming home next year
Gmaj D C
I'll be coming home next year
Gmaj D C
Everything's alright up here
A7
If I come down
C D Gmaj
I'll be coming home next year
A7
Say good-bye
Cmaj
Say good-bye
A7
Say good-bye
Cmaj D
Say good-bye
Gmaj D C Cmaj
I'll be coming home next year
Gmaj D C Cmaj
I'll be coming home next year
Gmaj D C
Everything's alright up here
A7
If I come down
C D Gmaj A7
I'll be coming home next year
C D Gmaj A7
I'll be coming home next year
C D Gmaj
I'll be coming home next year
(It sounds good just ending there on the G, but if you want to play along to
the fade out section after the last drum break on the studio recording,
then just play this over and over)
[Outro]
Gmaj D C Cmaj
I'll be coming home next year
