Now you
G
country fools in your
Em7
one-horse town, you can
G
laugh at me
Em7
It's
G
plain as rain that you've
Em7
never been down to the
G
southern sea
Em7
To
G
see me now is like
Em7
watching a fish on
G
dry land
Em7
I
G
only wish you could
Em7
see me down in the
F/C
is-
C
lands
C
Mister, t
D
hat's my
G
home
What a
F
fool I was to
C
leave the only
Am7
happiness I've
C/D
known.

Em7
You see
G
me comin', you wink yo
Em7
ur eye and call me Capta
G
in Jim
Em7
And when I
G
don't do nothin' but to
Em7
walk on by you say,
G
"Baby get a load o
Em7
f him."
G
All I need is the
Em7
sea and the sky and
G
I know where I
Em7
stand
in
G
stead of you hicks straight
Em7
out of the sticks d
F/C
eciding I ain't a
C
man
C
You'll ne
D
ver understand;
G
Up
F
here I'm just a
C
whiskey bum but
Am7
down there I'm a
D
king
It
F
sounds just like the
C
angels up in hea
Am7
ven when they
Dsus4
sing:
D7
"Welcome
G
home,
Em7
G
welcome home
Em7
." --
G
Such a sight to
Em7
see
ins
F
tead of some Salv
C
ation
G/B
Army
Am7
sister singin'
"
C/D
Nearer My God to
G
Thee."

Now I
G
know that the Yankee w
Em7
hiskey is
G
takin' away my
Em7
mind
and I
G
know that run is the
Em7
only drink
G
suitable to man-
Em7
kind
And I
G
know that this tree I'm
Em7
under is
G
shaped entirely wr
Em7
ong
I
G
need to see a g
Em7
entle palm tree and
F/C
I won't wait too
C
long
I can f
C
eel that it's

trong
The
F
first cold wind of
C
winter is
Am7
flappin' in my
D
clothes
F
Showin' me the
C
way with the dir
Am7
ection that it
C/D
blows.
Welcome
G
home,
Em
welcome hom
G
e, let it
Em7
blow. (repeat and fade)
