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