^AStreak the windows, smear the walls with cocon^Dut oil, yeah ^{E A}Fill a cast iron kettle with water and magnoli^Da blossoms ^{E F#m}Let it boil, let the water roll. ^DLet the fire take its^E toll. I'm coming home ^{A D E}

^ADust off the idols, give them something to eat ^{D E A}I bet they're hungry, I know I'm starving half ^Dto death ^{E F#m}I know you're waiting, I know you've been ^Dwaiting for a long, long ^Etime ^Aand I'm coming home ^{D E}

^F#mSet the table, those thr^Dee extra spaces, one for ^Ame, one for your doubts, one for God ^E

^ALet the incense burn in ev^Dery room ^{E A}Feel the fullness of time in the^D empty tomb ^{E A}Feel the future kicking^D in your womb ^E I'm coming home^A. I'm coming home ^{D E}
