Graeme Connors - Prodigal Son



G C
G 	  	  	  	  	 C
It was gonna be a long walk home with empty pockets,
 	 G 	 
 'til he was saved by a trucker with a generous heart,
C 	 G 	  	  	 C
A burly blessing who was heading in his direction,
 	 D 	  	 G 	 D
he breathed a sigh of relief knowing he'd be home within the week,
G 	 C
Woh oh oh oh.
D 	  	  	  	  	 C
He was touted as the one most likely to go places,
 	 G
everybody knew someday he'd set the world on fire,
C 	 G 	  	  	 C
This little country town would never hold him,
 	 D 	  	 G 	 D
the humidity and the flies clashed with the stars in his eyes,
G 	 C
Woh oh oh oh.

Chorus
D 	 G 	  	  	  	 C
The return of the progial son might have gone unnoticed,
 	  	 G 	  	  	  	 C
if it weren't for the star tattoo and those dead giveaway blue eyes,
 	  	 G 	  	  	 C 	 G
If it weren't for the gas station waitress with a beautiful memory,
 	  	  	 C 	 D 	  	 G
of a night spent by his side and a dream this day would come, 
 	 D 	  	 G
Oh, the return of the prodigal son.

Instrumental

G 	  	  	  	  	 C
And considering the years he'd been gone it was amazing, 
 	 G
she recognised him with the beard and the dirty clothes,
C 	 G 	  	  	  	 C
She dropped her tray of empty coffee cups and stood there,
 	 D 	  	 G 	 D
he couldn't recall her name but she loved him just the same,
G 	 C
Woh oh oh oh.
C 	 G 	  	 C
Oh, the return of the prodigal son.
