She 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  CG
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
