Intro: Em 

        F              D#    Em 
Another time I'm going home   
          F   D#     A    Em 
Down this road on my own   
          F                  D#   Em 
I see the trees and feel the sun   
            F   D#               A            
Is this the time my travelling's done?

But Daddy, it's been too long 
                D               A 
Since I've been grown and gone along   
           D                     G 
How're you doing, and how've you been?   
          D                    A      Em 
It'll be awhile 'til I'm here again 


          F                      D#    Em 
I see the house and the old wood shed   
             F    D#     A    Em 
I wonder how many friends are dead   
                 F                  D#     Em 
Have you seen my boy, is he growing tall?   
          F  D#             A            
How's his ma, is she pretty still?

How're you doing, and how've you been?

It'll be awhile 'til I'm here again 


                    F                         D#    Em 
The years have been good, I could be drinking less   
           F     D#               A    Em 
Out on the coast, I've found it's best 
                     F                   D#    Em 
There's been lots of singing and lots of pain   
        F    D#            A            
But you know, I'd live it again

            F                       D#     Em 
Some things haven't changed way out there 
                F      D#           A     Em 
I still have my shotgun and my long hair 
                      F                  D#       Em 
And the mountains and me are the best of friends 
                        F    D#               A            
I'm still looking for a woman who really understands
