[Verse]
A
And by the time that she gets home
        A
She'll realise that I am gone
                      D          A
I'll be sitting in a back bar drinkin'
A
Drinking to my friends
And drinking to my foes
     A          D           A
For both keep a young heart moving.
      A                 D
It's good to be on the trail
       A
From where my heart set sail
       A
Puttin anchor down
       D              A
For friends and good beer
        A
So I'll have another one
Then I'll be moving on.

[Chorus]
      A                D              A
It's good to be on the road back home again. Again
       A                D              A
It's good to be on the road back home again.

[Verse]
    A
And by the time that he arrives
A
He will read, I have lied
          A                D                A
He'll go drinking to his friends and to his foes.
A
But drinking is the devil
That drives one apart, leaving
A                D                    A
Memories of what should have been and wasn't.
A           D
Some petty business
A
In Tokyo town
A             D
Italy for the apples
    A
To where my heart is now.
    A                D
Now its giddy up or whoa
and I'm afraid it's good to be back on the road home."

[Chorus]
       A               D              A
It's good to be on the road back home again. Again.
       A               D              A     G
It's good to be on the road back home again.

[Verse]
   A
I swear I meant to leave Chattanoogah
       A
But I had another one.
       A                 D
And I realised what I'd done
                      A
I need to be on the first bus back
D         A
Into her arms
      A                 D              A
It's good to be on the road back home again
A        D
Too many nights
    A
In dirty London town
A            D
Italy for the apples
    A
To where my heart is now.
     A
For I've lost myself, searchin'
For what I ain't

[Chorus]
       A               D              A
It's good to be on the road back home again. Again.
       A               D              A
It's good to be on the road back home again.

[Verse]
A
Leave Chattanooga
     A
Walk in to New York City
A
Aeroplane down to Nippon ground
            A
Meets some friends in Tokio-town
A
Across to West Maluva
A
Showboat to West Malay
      A
Leave my foes to their woes
     A
Sometimes that's how it goes

[Chorus]
       A               D              A
It's good to be on the road back home again. Again.
       A               D              A
It's good to be on the road back home again.
