500 Miles Away From Home Chords

[Intro]
Am D G
          Am           D               G
Lord, I'm five hundred miles away from home.
 
[Verse 1]
G                                                        Em
Teardrops fell on mama's note when I read the things she wrote.
              Am               C                 D
She said, "We miss you son, we love you, come on home."
        G                                             Em
Well, I didn't have to pack, I had it all right on my back.
        Am           D               G
Now I'm five hundred miles away from home.
 
[Chorus]
G                                                      Em
Away from home, away from home. Cold and tired and all alone.
         Am           D               G
Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home.
 
[Verse 2] (The strumming remains the same but this verse is spoken except for the final line)
G                                       Em
I know this is the same road I took the day I left home.
       Am                   C                                 D
But it sure looks different now, I guess I look different too cause time changes everything.
G                                                              Em
I wonder what they'll say when they see their boy looking this way.
      Am                  D              G    A
Oh, I wonder what they'll say when I get home.

[Verse 3]
        D                                               Bm
Can't remember when I ate, it's just thumb and walk and wait.
        Em                 G                A
And I'm still five hundred miles away from home.
      D                                               Bm
If my luck had been just right I'd be with them all tonight.
        Em                 A               D
But I'm still five hundred miles away from home.
 
[Chorus]
          G                                            Em
Away from home, away from home. Cold and tired and all alone.
         Am           D               G
Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home.
              Am                 D         G
Oh, I'm still five hundred miles away from home.
