[Verse 1]
G                          C
I went the ways of wayward winds 
                          G
In a world of trouble and sin 
                          D
Walked a long and crooked mile 
                          Em
Behind a million rank and file 
                    C
Forgot where I came from 
                            G
Somewhere back when I was young 
        D          G
I was a good man’s child 

G                              
‘Cause I lost some nameless things 
   C                        
My innocence flew away from me 
   G                               D
She had to hide her face from my desire 
                     Em
To embrace forbidden fire 
                      C
But at night I dream 
                       G
She’s singing over me 
    D      G
Oh, oh, my child 

[Chorus 1]
        Em C   G       D     
Come on home, home to me    
    Em              C         G
And I will hold you in my arms 
    D      G
And joyful be 

           Em C     G      D     
There will always, always be 
  Em            C          G
A place for you at my table 
  D       G
Return to me

[Verse 2]
G                          C
Wondering where I might begin 
                      G
Hear a voice upon the wind 
                                D
She’s singing faint but singing true 
                                 Em
Son, there ain’t nothing you can do 
                            C
But listen close and follow me 
                                    G
I’ll take you where you’re meant to be
     D          G
Just don’t lose faith 

G                          C
So I put my hand upon the plow 
                          G
Wipe the sweat up from my brow 
                              D
Plant the good seed along the way 
                          Em
As I look forward to the day 
                 C
When at last I see 
                    G
My Father run to me 
        D      G
Singing oh, my child 

[Chorus 2/Outro]
        Em C   G       D     
Come on home, home to me    
    Em              C         G
And I will hold you in my arms 
    D      G
And joyful be 

           Em C     G      D     
There will always, always be 
  Em            C          G
A place for you at my table 
  D       G
Return to me 
   G     C  G   D    
My Child
  
Em  C  G D G


        Em C   G       D     
Come on home, home to me    
    Em              C         G
And I will hold you in my arms 
    D      G
And joyful be 

           Em C     G      D     
There will always, always be 
  Em            C          G
A place for you at my table 
  C           G
At    my table
Em C          G
At    my table
  D        G
Return to me
