Capo:no capo
  
Verse 1:
 
[D]The only the thing I see ahead is
 
[G] just the heat [A]a rising off the[D] road
 
[D]The rainbows I've been chasing keep on
 
[G]fading before I [A] find my pot of [D]gold
 
[G]But more and more I'm thinking, that the only treasures
 
[A]that I'll ever [D]kno[G]ow
 
[D]Are long ago and far behind and [A]wrapped up in my
 
[G]memories o
F [D]home
 
 
Chorus:
 
[G]Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole
 
and the feel of a muddy row between my [D]toes
 
[G]Home was a back porch swing where I would sit
 
and mom would sing[D] amazing grace
 
While she hung out the [A]clothes,
 
[G]Home was an easy chair with my daddy there
 
and the smell of Sunday supper on the [D]sto-[G]ve
 
[D]My footsteps carry me away but [A]in my mind I'm
 
[G]always going [D]home
 
 
Verse 2:
 
[D]Now the miles I put behind me ain't as
 
[G]B
ard as the [A]miles that lay[D] ahead
 
[D]And its much to late to listen to the
 
[G]words of wisdom [A]that my daddy[D] said
 
[G]The straight and narrow path he showed me turned into a
 
[A]thousand winding [D]ro-[G]oads,
 
[D]My footsteps carry me away, but [A]in my mind I'm
 
[G]always going [D]home.
 
 
Repeat Chorus (then add)
 
 
[G]Yeah, the straight and narrow path he showed me turned into a
 
[A]thousand winding [D]ro-[G]oads,
 
[D]My footsteps carry me away, but [A]in my mind I'm
 
 
[G]always going [D]home.

[Verse 1]
    C
The only thing I see ahead is
F                G            C
just the heat a rising off the road
C                      Am
The rainbows I've been chasing keep on
F                G             C
fading before I find my pot of gold
F
And more and more I'm thinking, that the only treasures
             C Am
that I'll ever know
C                            G
Are long ago and far behind wrapped up in my
            C
memories of home
 
[Chorus]
F
Home was a swimming hole and a fishing pole
                                       C
and the feel of a muddy road between my toes
F
Home was a back porch swing where I would sit
                  C
and mom would sing Amazing Grace
                       G
While she hung out the clothes
F
Home was an easy chair with my daddy there
                                      C   Am
and the smell of Sunday supper on the stove
C                              G
My footsteps carry me away but in my mind I'm
             C
always going home
