Back Home Again - John Denver - 40 bpm

There’s a 
C
storm across the 
C7
valley, 
F
clouds are rollin’ 

in. The 
G
afternoon is 
G7
heavy on your 
C
shoulders.
G

There’s a 
C
truck out on the 
C7
four-lane a 
F
mile or more a

way. The 
G
whinin’ of his 
G7
wheels just makes it 
C
colder.
G

He’s an 
C
hour away from 
C7
ridin’ on your 
F
prayers up in the 

sky. 
G
And ten days on the 
G7
road are barely 
C
gone.
G

There’s a 
C
fire softly 
C7
burnin’, 
F
suppers on the 

stove. But it’s the 
G
light in your 
G7
eyes that makes him 
C
warm.
C7

	
F
Hey it’s good to 
G
be back home a
C
gain.
C7

	
F
Sometimes 
G
this old farm 
C
feels like a long-lost 
F
friend.

	Yes ‘n 
G
hey, it’s good to 
G7
be back home 
C
again.
G

There’s 
C
all the news to 
C7
tell him, 
F
how’d you spend your 

time. 
G
What’s the latest 
G7
thing the neighbors 
C
say?
G

And your 
C
mother called last 
C7
Friday, 
F
sunshine made her 

cry. You 
G
felt the baby 
G7
move just yester
C
day.
C7

repeat chorus

 
F
Oh the time that 
G
I can lay this 
C
tired old body 
F
down, and 
Dm
feel your wings 
G
feather soft u
C
pon me,
C7

The 
F
kisses that I 
G
live for, the 
C
love that lights my 
F
way, the 
Dm
happiness that that 
F
livin’ with you 
G
brings me

It’s the 
C
sweetest thing I 
C7
know of, just 
F
spending time with 

you, the 
G
little things that 
G7
make a house a 
C
home
G

Like a 
C
fire softly 
C7
burnin’ 
F
supper on the 

stove, the 
G
light in your 
G7
eyes that makes me 
C
warm
