Capo 4
C  C/B  Am
Almost home
       G                   Em
When I missed the bottom stair
           G                 Em
You were braiding your gray hair
        C  C/B   Am
It had grown so long
      G          Em
Since I'd been gone
        C   C/B  Am
And the perfect girls
        G                  Em
By the pool, they would protest
      G                 Em
The cross around their necks
         C      C/B    Am
But our sons were overseas
G                          Em                 C     C/B    Am
And we all know about the hive and the honey bees
G   Em   G   Em
C   C/B  Am
Almost home
          G                 Em
With an olive branch and a dove
           G                   Em
You were beating on a Persian rug
            C            C/B      Am
With your bible and your wedding band
       G             Em
Both hidden on a TV stand
          C    C/B    Am
And the cruel wind blew
        G          Em
Every city father fell
           G        Em
Off the county carousel
            C      C/B     Am
While the dogs were eating snow
          G                  Em               C     C/B     Am
All our sons had sunk in a trunk of Noah's clothes
G    Em    G   Em
C  C/B   Am
Almost home
        G                Em
We got lost on our new street
              G                 Em
While your grieving girls all died in their sleep
         C     C/B     Am
So the dogs all went unfed
           G                 Em
A great dream of bones all piled on the bed
         C    C/B      Am
And the cops couldn't care
             G               Em
When that crackhead built a boat
             G               Em
And said, "Please, before I go
         C     C/B    Am
May our only honored bone
          G            Em                  C        C/B       Am
Be the kinship of the kids and the riot squad"
