Verse 1
GYou're on the other side of the world tonAmight
CBut under the same cold stars D
GAnd tonight I'll dream you right baAmck home
CTo this little life of ours D
GWe'll walk hand in hand through fieldsAm of green
CJust like we did last year D
GBut it's so hard to wake up everAmy day
CAnd watch as your dreams disapDpear
Pre Chorus 1
CIt's quiet here, youDr little boy's asleep
CHe looks more like yDou every day

GEach night I pray on bended knEmee
CWon't you come back to the GDreen Mountains and me Em
C-D-G
Follow same pattern for the rest of song
Verse 2
I see a car winding up the driveway
Up to your parents' place
The old man looks up from his raking
As the color drains from your mama's face
Cryin' softly by the window now
While your daddy shakes the soldiers hands
Their taillights disappear into the woods below
He's frozen in the doorway where he stands
Pre-Chorus 2
In the twilight, in the silent snow
I hear you singing in my ear
Chorus
Won't you come back, come back my darlin’
Each night I pray on a bended knee
Won’t you come back to the Green Mountains and me
Verse 3
The seasons come and the seasons go
We live from day to day
And I lose a little bit of myself
With each tear I wipe away
Pre-Chorus 3
People on the street used to stop and chat
Now they look down and walk on by
Chorus
Won't you come back, come back my darlin’
Each night I pray on a bended knee
Won’t you come back to the Green Mountains and me
