[Verse 1]
N.C.        G                G7
There's a storm across the valley
C                  C
Clouds are rolling in
    D           D7
The afternoon is heavy
        G         D
On your shoulders
 G                            G7
There's a truck out on the four lane
  C             C
A mile or more away
    D              D7
The whining of his wheels
              G      D
Just makes it colder
 
 
[Verse 2]
        G              G7
He's an hour away from riding
        C                 C
On your prayers up in the sky
    D               D7
And ten days on the road
           G    D
Are barely gone
           G           G7
There's a fire softly burning
C               C
Supper's on the stove
              D            D7
But It's the light in your eyes
               G
That makes him warm
 
 
[Chorus]
C                 D7            G      G7
Hey, it's good to be back home again
C           D7
Sometimes this old farm
G                      C
Feels like a long lost friend
        D                D7             G
Yes, n' hey, it's good to be back home again
 
 
[Verse 3]
G                        G7
There's all the news to tell him
C                    C
How'd you spend your time
    D                  D7                  G    D
And what's the latest thing the neighbours say
G                            G7
And your mother called last Friday
C                 C
Sunshine made her cry
        D                        G
And you felt the baby move just yesterday
 
 
[Chorus]
C                 D7            G     G7
Hey, it's good to be back home again, yes it is
C           D7
Sometimes this old farm
G                      C
Feels like a long lost friend
        D                 D7            G      G7
Yes, n' hey, it's good to be back home again
 
 
[Bridge]
     C                 D7             G               C
And oh, the time that I can lay this tired, old body down
    Am                D7             G      G7
And feel your fingers feather soft upon me
     C             D7
The kisses that I live for
    G                   C
The love that lights my way
    Am             C               D7
The happiness that living with you brings me
 
 
[Verse 4]
         G                G7
It's the sweetest thing I know of
     C                  C
Just spending time with you
         D              D7                 G       D
It's the little things that make a house a home
        G           G7           C             C
Like a fire softly burning, and supper on the stove
         D            D7                 G
And the light in your eyes that makes me warm
 
 
[Chorus]
C                 D7            G      G7
Hey, it's good to be back home again
C           D7
Sometimes this old farm
G                      C
Feels like a long lost friend
        D                 D7            G
Yes, n' hey, it's good to be back home again
 
C                 D7            G     G7
Hey, it's good to be back home again, oh it is
C           D7
Sometimes this old farm
G                      C
Feels like a long lost friend
D                D7             G
Hey, it's good to be back home again
       D                D7             G
I said hey, it's good to be back home again.
