[Intro]

Bm C G G Bm C G G Bm C G C G D G G

[Verse 1]

Bm C G

and in the midst of the explosion comin' down

Bm C G

you sit barefoot on your porch

Bm C G C

and all the times you'd say we'd be sorry now

G D G

but I'm not sorry now, I'm not sorry now

Bm C G

you were talkin' 'bout the cornfields passin' by

Bm C G

out the window of the bus

Bm C G C

and all the times you swore that you'd get back there somehow

G D C

that's just talkin' loud, never thought I'd be here now

[Chorus]

C G

so hey there, Sister Nebraska

C D

sittin' there, sweetly pigeon-toed

G Em C

it's been a long cold winter

D G C G D

now I'm comin' home

[Verse 2]

Bm C G

California's just a memory I've left behind

Bm C G

Colorado come and gone

Bm C G C

the setting sun paints the rearview mirror red

G D

as we start headin' south

it'll be any day now

Bm C G

mountains fall away to leave us on the plains

Bm C G

as we relax into the ride

Bm C G C

and all those unpaid bills, well, I left them all behind

G D

cause I'm not turnin' back

all my bags are packed

[Chorus]

C G

so hey there, Sister Nebraska

C D

sittin' there, sweetly pigeon-toed

G Em C

it's been a long cold winter

D G C G D

now I'm comin' home

[Interlude]

Bm C G G Bm C G G Bm C G C G D G G

[Verse 3]

Bm C G

this is gone and we've returned to what we left

Bm C G

turned to pictures packed away

Bm C

and I will call you up and say:

G C

"ain't this life a riot?"

G D

and you will understand

C G

and you will understand

[Chorus]

C G

so hey there, Sister Nebraska

C D

sittin' there, sweetly pigeon-toed

G Em C

it's been a long cold winter

D G C G D

now I'm comin' home

D G C G D

now I'm comin' home
