Homecoming Lament Chords

[Intro]
      D                       A
This is my homeland, my heart is here
           D                 A
these are the voices I long to hear
         D            G
No matter how far I may roam
    D          A             D     G    D     A              D
I have a homeland, I have a home; I have a homeland, I have a home
 
[Verse 1]
                A                   D
When the sun goes down in the evening light
              A              D
It moves like a ghost trough starry night
      B-                G
When serious twinkles to hypnotize
D         A              D
It's good to sit and realize
 
[Chorus]
      D                       A
This is my homeland, my heart is here
           D                 A
these are the voices I long to hear
         D            G
No matter how far I may roam
    D          A             D
I have a homeland, I have a home
 
[Verse 2]
        A                   D
I love her story's and the tellers gift
     A              D
I love the lonely pipers drift
        B-                G
No greener fields do I need to see
     D          A             D
These simple things they comfort me
 
[Chorus]
      D                       A
This is my homeland, my heart is here
           D                 A
these are the voices I long to hear
         D            G
No matter how far I may roam
    D          A             D
I have a homeland, I have a home
 
[Bridge]
D A G
 
[Verse 3]
   D                       A
If for some reason I had to quit
     A              D
This river bench where I sit
     B-                G
I think I'd weep for and old refrain
   D          A             D
And never doubt the pouring rain
 
[Chorus]
      D                       A
This is my homeland, my heart is here
           D                 A
these are the voices I long to hear
         D            G
No matter how far I may roam
    D          A             D
I have a homeland, I have a home (x4)
 
[Outro]
 D          A             D
I have a home I have a homeland, I have a home
