[Intro]
Am
[Verse 1]
From the dAmay that I was born, I felt straCngely out of place,
no relatioGns to my parents, no relAmation to my name
I’ve alAmways been a stranger in the lCife that I was living
and eGver since I’ve heard that Ammany feel the same.
So heCre’s to all the ramblers who’re still loGoking for directions
Put your aDmrms around your lovers, tAmhose with which you rGoam
Sometimes hE7appiness is closer than sAmome of yAm/Gou might thFink
And soCmewhere down the rGoad you’ll find your hAmome.
[Verse 2]
I left one vAmery early morning, grabbed my bCags and my belongings,
my guGitar and my ideas and hAmeaded straight up north
Felt liAmke Christoph Columbus and the fCact that I had satnav,
didn’t maGke much of a difference, I stAmill strayed back and forth.
I took the hiCgh road, took the low road, didn’t knGow where I was going
So I trDmaveled many countries, came throAmugh many different towGns
And many timeE7s I couldn’t sleep and didn’t kAmnow what Am/GI was doiFng
MCostly tried in vaGin to disarray my doAmubts.
[Chorus]
If you’re sFearching for a hAmome just Fgo where your heGart tells you to Amgo
If you’re sFearching for a hAmome just Fgo where your heGart tells you to Amgo
                    G    E7N.C.         Am  
Just go where your heart tells you to go
[Verse 3]
I found hAmome in many places, unexpectCedly at times,
on the baGnks of English rivers and in dAmeep, dark German woods
In the aAmrms of many girls, whose nCames have slipped my mind,
in emGpty bars and motels that I Amhad to leave for good.
See a caCndle burn at midnight in a dGarkened window frame
Stay up laDmte and watch the sunrise by a clAmear blue mountain lGake
Meet a strangE7er in a pub and aAmsk him fAm/Gor his namFe
And lCisten to his stGory, just for conversations Amsake.
[Chorus]
If you’re seFarching for a hAmome just gFo where your heaGrt tells you tAmo go
If you’re seFarching for a hAmome just gFo where your heaGrt tells you tAmo go
                    G    E7N.C.        Am  
Just go where your heart tells you to go
[Bridge]
AmAfter all my travels, all the yeCars I spent in search,
for a pGlace to call my home, for a plAmace where I belong
AmThere is just this one and only tCruth that emerged,
if you lGove what you are doing, darling, Amyou will find your home.
[Chorus]
If you Fdon’t know what to Amdo, just Fdo what your heGart tells you to Amdo
And if you Fdon’t know what to Amsay, just Fsay what your hGeart tells you to Amsay.
If you’re seFarching for a hAmome just gFo where your heaGrt tells you to Amgo
If you’re seFarching for a hAmome just gFo where your heaGrt tells you to Amgo
                    G     E7N.C.        Am  
Just go where your heart tells you to go

Am/G

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

Am C

From the day that I was born, I felt strangely out of place,

G Am

no relations to my parents, no relation to my name

Am C

I’ve always been a stranger in the life that I was living

G Am

and ever since I’ve heard that many feel the same.

C G

So here’s to all the ramblers who’re still looking for directions

Dm Am G

Put your arms around your lovers, those with which you roam

E7 Am Am/G F

Sometimes happiness is closer than some of you might think

C G Am

And somewhere down the road you’ll find your home.

[Verse 2]

Am C

I left one very early morning, grabbed my bags and my belongings,

G Am

my guitar and my ideas and headed straight up north

Am C

Felt like Christoph Columbus and the fact that I had satnav,

G Am

didn’t make much of a difference, I still strayed back and forth.

C G

I took the high road, took the low road, didn’t know where I was going

Dm Am G

So I traveled many countries, came through many different towns

E7 Am Am/G F

And many times I couldn’t sleep and didn’t know what I was doing

C G Am

Mostly tried in vain to disarray my doubts.

[Chorus]

F Am F G Am

If you’re searching for a home just go where your heart tells you to go

F Am F G Am

If you’re searching for a home just go where your heart tells you to go

G E7 Am

N.C.

Just go where your heart tells you to go

[Verse 3]

Am C

I found home in many places, unexpectedly at times,

G Am

on the banks of English rivers and in deep, dark German woods

Am C

In the arms of many girls, whose names have slipped my mind,

G Am

in empty bars and motels that I had to leave for good.

C G

See a candle burn at midnight in a darkened window frame

Dm Am G

Stay up late and watch the sunrise by a clear blue mountain lake

E7 Am Am/G F

Meet a stranger in a pub and ask him for his name

C G Am

And listen to his story, just for conversations sake.

[Chorus]

F Am F G Am

If you’re searching for a home just go where your heart tells you to go

F Am F G Am

If you’re searching for a home just go where your heart tells you to go

G E7 Am

N.C.

Just go where your heart tells you to go

[Bridge]

Am C

After all my travels, all the years I spent in search,

G Am

for a place to call my home, for a place where I belong

Am C

There is just this one and only truth that emerged,

G Am

if you love what you are doing, darling, you will find your home.

[Chorus]

F Am F G Am

If you don’t know what to do, just do what your heart tells you to do

F Am F G Am

And if you don’t know what to say, just say what your heart tells you to say.

F Am F G Am

If you’re searching for a home just go where your heart tells you to go

F Am F G Am

If you’re searching for a home just go where your heart tells you to go

G E7 Am

N.C.

Just go where your heart tells you to go
