[Verse 1]
D               G         A
This land is a lovely green
    Bm7              Em7    A
it reminds me of my own home.
D                  G         A
Such children I've seldom seen,
 Bm7         Em7    A
even in my own home.
D               G         A
The sky is so bright and clean,
Bm7              Em7   A
  just like my home.
D                      G        A
  Kind people as have ever been,
           Bm7               Em7
won't you take me back to my own home?

[Chorus]
A            D/A  A          Em7 D/F#         G     Em7
  Jump up behind me, my love,       jump up behind me.
A             D/A  A         Em7 D/F#         G     Em7
  Old Dan can bear us both,        jump up behind me.
      A                         D/A      A
We'll follow this road till we reach the sea,
Em7 D/F#      G     Em7
    Jump up behind me.
A                    D/A      A
Catch the tide and we'll set Dan free,
Em7 D/F#   G     A
    Jump up behind me.

[Verse 2]
D               G         A
I've been in this world awhile
         Bm7            Em7    A
And I've seen a lot of country.
D             G         A
Many days and many miles,
    Bm7         Em7    A
All various and sundry.
D                     G        A
I've had my way and I've had my fun
Bm7         Em7    A
And I've had my chance to run free,
D             G         A
Burning hot beneath the sun,
         Bm7               Em7
Freezing cold and wintry.

[Chorus]
A            D/A  A          Em7 D/F#         G     Em7
  Jump up behind me, my love,       jump up behind me.
A             D/A  A         Em7 D/F#         G     Em7
  Old Dan can bear us both,        jump up behind me.
      A                         D/A      A
We'll follow this road till we reach the sea,
Em7 D/F#      G     Em7
    Jump up behind me.

A                    D/A      A
Catch the tide and we'll set Dan free,
Em7 D/F#   G     A   D2
    Jump up behind me.

[Bridge]
Bm   A/B  Bm     C      D/F#  G        A            Bm A/B  Bm
  I know now, one thing only matters in these days
    C   D/F#  G        A      Bm    A/B  Bm
One thing,                true love,
C         D/F#     G A     Bm    A/B Bm
love and love alone,   true love (I know now)

[Verse e]
D               G         A
I Came out of a dream last night,
            Bm7           Em7    A
Thought I was back in my old home.
D             G         A
Mom and Dad were both still alive
      Bm7        Em7    A
And the babies not yet born, no.
D           G         A
Felt like a festival
        Bm7           Em7      A
And it felt like a Christmas morning,
D           G         A
Felt the darkness fall away
        Bm7               Em7
Even as the world was turning on,
D           G         A
La la       la la    la
        Bm7                 Em7
I mean even as the world was turning on.
D         G   A    Bm7      Em7  A
  La la la la la,    la la la la (I say).
D         G   A    Bm7      Em7  A
  La la la la la,    la la la la
D         G   A    Bm7      Em7  A
  La la la la la,    la la la la   (c'mon)

D         G   A    Bm7      Em7  A
  La la la la la,    la la la la (I say) ...fading
