Ah, one, two ... (b^Greak)

[Verse]

She was ^Cadd9counting out the window of an ^A7sus4outbound train All the ^Gpoles of the telegraph And the ^Cadd9rock-a-bye rhythm in the ^A7sus4song of the rails Couldn't ^Gmake the sweeper ^Cadd9laugh

[Bridge]

^BmDown, down, down, so ^Amdeep ^BmDown, down, drowning in his ^Dsleep

[Chorus] C Am G | G | Tommy's coming home again (break) (build up) [Verse]

And a ^Cadd9hawk hovered high above a ^A7sus4skinny jackrabbit Pur^Gsued by a hungry fox And a ^Cadd9broker awoke her from a ^A7sus4fitful slumber Con^Gsulted his shares and his ^Cadd9stocks

[Bridge]

^BmDown, down, down, they ^Amgo ^BmDown down - how he'll never ^Dknow

[Chorus]

^CTommy's ^Amcoming ^Ghome again And it's ^Calmost ^AmApril Fools' ^EmDay

[Verse]

As he ^Cadd9glanced on his paper looking ^A7sus4through the veil He could ^Gsee she was really upset As she ^Cadd9tucked back the ribbon in a ^A7sus4velvet box As he ^Goffered her a ciga^Cadd9rette

[Bridge]

^BmDown, down, down, she took a ^Amdrag ^BmNow he's covered in a ^Dflag

[Chorus]

^CTommy's ^Amcoming ^Ghome again And it's ^Calmost ^AmApril Fools' ^EmDay

[Middle 8]

^GAlmost ^Cadd9April Fools' ^GDay And the ^Cadd9joke's on every^Gone He ^Bmhad that pre^Emmonition Only ^Adead men dwell up^Don

[Verse]

Well, ^Cadd9how could he know that only ^A7sus4twelve months later She would ^Gwear her skirt up over her knee And in the ^Cadd9very same carriage she'd be ^A7sus4flattened with roses And for^Gget the tears of bigo^Cadd9try

[Bridge]

^BmDown, down, down, they ^Amflow ^BmDown, down, down - it just don't ^Dmatter anymore

[Chorus]

^CTommy's ^Ammade it ^Ghome again When it was ^Calmost ^AmApril Fools' ^EmDay

[[Middle 8]

^GAlmost ^Cadd9April Fools' ^GDay And the ^Cadd9joke's on every^Gone He ^Bmhad that pre^Emmonition Only ^Adead men dwell up^Don

[Coda]

^CTommy's ^Amcoming ^Ghome again ^CTommy's ^Amcoming ^Ghome again ^CTommy's ^Amcoming ^Ghome
