Home to me, But your beard, Someday might be.
Bridge:
Am7 Fadd9 C
And she'll wake up in a cold sweat on the floor
Am7 Fadd9 C
Next to a family portrait drawn when you were four
Am7 Fadd9 C Am7
And beside a jar of two cent coins that are no good no more
Fadd9 C
She'll lay it aside
(Main Riff x2)
Verse 2:
F C/F Dm Am F
Older father, weary soul, you'll drive

Back to the home you made on the mountainside

With that ugly, terrible thing
C/F Dm
Those papers for divorce
Am F
And a lonely ring,
Chorus 2:
C
A lonely ring
F
Sit on your porch
C
And pluck your strings
Bridge 2:
Am7 Fadd9 C
Oh, and you'll find somebody you can blame

And you'll find the peace of the Lord.

It was the only woman you ever loved
