Verse 1
FYou're on the other side of the world tonDmight
FBut under the same cold stars G
FAnd tonight I'll dream you right baDmck home
FTo this little life of ours G

FJust like we did last year G
FBut it's so hard to wake up everDmy day
FAnd watch as your dreams disapGpear
Pre Chorus 1
FIt's quiet here, youGr little boy's asleep
FHe looks more like yGou every day

FEach night I pray on bended knAmee
FWon't you come back to the GGreen Mountains and me Am
F-G-F
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
