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
(repeat 4-line chorus, fading)
