My Darlin Hometown by John Prine
My Darlin Hometown
Capo:no capo
Tuning: Standard
Intro:
F G C F
F G C F
F G
Far away over the sea
C F
There's a river that's calling to me
F G
That river she runs all around
C F
The place that I call my hometown
F G
There's a valley on the side of the hill
C F
And flowers on an old windowsill
F G
A familiar old picture it seems
C F
And I'll go there tonight in my dreams
Bb
Where it's green in the summer
F
And gold in the fall
G
Her eyes are as blue
C
As the sky I recall
F G
Far away over the sea
C F
There's a place at the table for me
F G
Where laughter and music abound
C F
Just waiting there in my hometown
Bb
The river she freezes
F
When there's snow on the ground
G
And the children can slide
C
To the far side of town
(Repeat Intro)
F G
Far away far away me
C F
Hung up on a sweet memory
F G
I'm lost and I wish I were found
C F
In the arms of my darlin' hometown
Bb
With the evening sun sittin'
F
On the top of the hill
G
And the mockingbird answering
C
The old chapel bell
F G
Far away over the sea
C F
My heart is longing to be
F G
And I wish I could lay myself down
C F F G C F
In the arms of my darlin' hometown
