This is my st^Bbreet I smile at the f^Cm7aces I’ve known all my ^Bb/Dlife They regard me with ^Ab/Ebpride And everyone’s s^Bb/Fweet They say, “You’re going pl^Eb/Gaces!’ So ^Gmhow can I^Bb/Eb say that while I was ^Fsusaway I had ^Fso much to h^Gmide!

“Hey guys, it’s^Fsus me! ^F The big^Dgest disapp^D7/F#ointment you k^Gmnow.” ^Gm/F The k^Ebid couldn’t ^Bb/Dhack it She’s ^Bbmback and she’s wa^Ablkin’ real s^Gmlow W^F7suselcome home Just b^Bb/Dreathe... ^Fsus

^FAs the radio p^Bblays old forgotten bo^Cm7leros I think of the ^Bb/Ddays when this city was ^Ab/Ebmine I remember the ^Bb/Fpraise “Ay, te adoro, te ^F/Gquiero,” The ^Gm7neighborhood waved, and Said, ^Ebmaj9“Nina, be ^Fsusbrave and You’re ^Fgonna be ^Gmfine!” And maybe it’s ^Fsusme ^F But it a^Dll seems like l^D/F#ifetimes a^Gmgo So^Ebsus2 what do I^Bb/D say to these^Bbm/Db faces that^Ab I used to k^Gmnow? “Hey, I’m^F(add4) home?”
