Geva Alon - The Folks Back Home
Author And Composer: גבע אלון
Dm Bb
|
People back home know everything there is
|
Gm Dm
|
To know about me
|
Dm
|
I can be gone for years and
|
Bb
|
Still theyll know
|
Gm Dm
|
Where I’ve been
|
F
|
I read an article in the paper about
|
Bb
|
People like me
|
F
|
Thought I’d outrun them by now
|
C
|
But then back home
|
Dm C
|
They always see everything that I see
|
Gm Bb C
|
Before me
|
Dm Bb
|
People back home tell every story
|
Gm Dm
|
There is to tell about me
|
Dm
|
And the stories they come up with
|
Bb Gm Dm
|
Are most of the time true
|
F Bb
|
Me I get confused by looking in the mirror
|
F
|
The only time I recognize myself
|
C
|
Is when I look at my dad
|
Dm C
|
And get nervous from having to grow old
|
Gm Dm
|
Without him
|
F Dm C
|
There’s a corner in my heart
|
F Dm C
|
For the folks back home
|
Bridge:
|
Dm Bb Gm Dm
|
Dm Bb Gm Dm C
|
Dm Bb
|
And my daddy says I should always remember
|
Gm Dm
|
My story
|
Dm
|
’cause there will come a time
|
Bb Gm Dm
|
When all the folks back home will die
|
F Bbm
|
And that one day I will sit my children down
|
F
|
And tell them every story there is to tell
|
C
|
About the folks back home
|
Dm
|
How they knew everything
|
C
|
There was to know about me
|
Gm
|
And I’ll look at them and hope that
|
Bb C
|
One day I could say the same
|
F Dm C
|
There’s a corner in my heart
|
F Dm C
|
For the folks back home
