[Verse]
AmDriven Cthrough by hGer ownF sword,
Amsummer diCed last niGght, aFlone.
AmEven the gChosts huddleGd up fFor warmth.
AmAutumn has Ccome to Gmy hometoFwn.
[Verse]
AmFriendly vCoices, deGad andF gone,
Am singing, SCtar of the Gcountry Fdown...
(Ameven the gChosts help rGaise the barnF,
hAmere, noCw, in my GhometoFwn)
[Chorus]
F Eb D
— wDhen, out of the mCassing
that bodeBbs and biGdes, in thBbe colCd weDst,
Dflew a waCxwing, whBbo froze
and dGied agaiBbnst Cmy bDreast!
AnDd all the while, rCain,
like a weed inBb the tiGde,
swBbans aCnd lDists, down
on thCe gossiping Bblawns, G
sayiBbng tskC tsk Dtsk.
[Verse]
AmI may have Cchanged. It's harGd to gauge.F
AmTime won't aCccount for hGow I've aFged.
AmWould I coCuld tie your Glying tonFgue,
who saAmys that lCeaving kGeeps you yFoung.
AmAnd I haCve goGt no cFontrol
Amover my hCeart, oveGr my mFind.
AmOver theC hills, theG raincloudFs roll.
AmI'll winCter here, Gwait for Fa sign
[Chorus]
F D# D
Dto cast myself
out,C over thBbe water,
rivGen like aBb wisChbone.D
DYou'd hardly guess
ID was my oCwn mother's daughteBbr;
I ain'tG naturally giBbven tCo roDam.
DAnd I lay low, when I retCurn, and I move
lBbike a gurGney
whose Bbwheels Care sqDueaking,
aDlone, here in my hCome,
and I Bblaugh,
when youG speak of my
BbpleasuCre-seeDking
[Bridge]

among the EbtalCl BbpinFesG,
Dalong the ClaBby-lGinBbes.C D
Fmaj7Here, where the EblooCn BbkeeFnsG.
DThere, where theC mBboonG lBbeansC. D
Fmaj7There wEbhere I Cknow mBby violent Flove lGays down,
Din a roCw of sBbilent, Gdove-gBbray CdaysD.
Here, in a Crow of BbsilGent,Bb dove-Cgray Ddays.
[Verse]
AmWherever IC go, I am GsnowboFund
by Amthoughts ofC him whom IG would sFun.
I Amloved them aCll, oneG by onFe.
AmCannot gain Cground, canGnot outFrun;
Ambut time mCarcGhes aFlong.
AmYou can't aClways Gstick arFound.
AmBut, when theC final coGunt is dFone,
IAm will Gbe in mFy homEmetown.
I will Bbbe in Gmy hometownC.
