From: RSambu@aol.com Date: Fri, 3 Nov 1995 14:39:35 -0500 Subject: TAB: Don't It Make You Want to Go Home by Joe South (CRD file) Another fine Joe South song circa 1969. Don't It Make You Want to Go Home (Joe South)
G/ / / / Am/ / / / D/ / / / G/ / / / [2X] (see note)
(chorus first):
GDon't it make you want to go Amhome now DDon't it make you want to go hGome All God's children get wAmeary when they roam DDon't it make you want to go hGome DDon't it make you want to go hGome
(verse 1):
Oh the wGhippoorwill roosts on the tAmelephone pole as the DGeorgia sun goes dGown Well it's been a long time but I'm Amglad to say that I'm goin' bDack down to my home tGown Goin' down to the Greyhound sAmtation Gonna bDuy me a one way fGare Good lord willin' and the Amcreeks don't rise By toDmorrow I'll be right tGhere
(chorus) (verse 2): But there's a six-lane highway down by the creek Where I went skinny dippin' as a child And a drive-in show where the meadow used to grow And the strawberries used to grow wild There's a drag strip down by the riverside Where my grandma's cow used to graze Now the grass don't grow and the river don't flow Like it did in my childhood days (chorus - lead off last line with "Tell me") (chorus, up 1 step, and drop 5th line):
ADon't it make you want to go Bmhome now EDon't it make you want to go hAome All God's children get weBmary when they roam and EGod how I want to go hAome
