G                 Am
Don't it make you want to go home now

D7                           G
Don't it make you want to go home

                       Am
All God's children get weary when they roam

D7                           G
Don't it make you want to go home

D7                           G
Don't it make you want to go home


                                  C
Oh the whippoorwill roosts on the telephone pole

        D7               G
And the Georgia sun goes down

 
Well it's been a long time 

        C                   D7              G
But I'm glad that I'm going back to my home town


                            C
Going down to the Greyhound station

      D7               G
Gonna buy me a one way fare

                                   C
If the good Lord's willing and the creeks don't rise

     D7                  G
By tomorrow I'm gonna be there


G                 Am
Don't it make you want to go home now

D7                           G
Don't it make you want to go home

                       Am
All God's children get weary when they roam

D7                           G
Don't it make you want to go home

D7                           G
Don't it make you want to go home


                                    C
But there's a six-lane highway down by the creek

      D7                         G
Where I went skinny dipping as a child

                              C
And a drive-in show where the meadow used to grow

        D7                        G
And the strawberries used to grow wild


                                 C
There's a drag strip down by the riverside

         D7                    G
Where my grandma's cow used to graze

                                 C
Now the grass don't grow and the river don't flow

        D7                  G
Like it did in my childhood days


G                 Am
Don't it make you want to go home now

D7                           G
Don't it make you want to go home

                       Am
All God's children get weary when they roam

D7                           G
Don't it make you want to go home

D7                           G
Don't it make you want to go home
