he Keeps the Home Fires Burning
Key of G
Intro: G C D G C D
G C G
Crack of dawn I hit the road, set my shoulders for the heavy load
C G C G
Coffee leaking through the paper sack
G C G
The foreman says I'm late again, he can't stand it when I only grin
C G C G
He's got me eight hours, she's got me after that
D
I can't wait 'til it's quittin' time
D
She got something cookin' for me tonight.
Chorus
G C D
She keeps the homefires burning
Am7 G
While I'm out earning a living in a world
C D
That's known for its pouring rain
G C D
She keeps the homefires burning
Am7 D G C G
Ooh and it's her warm loving that keeps me returning again
G C D G
G C G
Out of gas, just my luck, four bald tires on my pickup truck
C G C G
No more credit on my credit card
G
When I come home and hit that door I remember what these aching arms are
for
C G C G
She's my one light when the world goes dark
D
Tomorrow it's the same old grind
But she'll be burning in my mind
chorus
