D              A7     G          D
Looking out my window, what do I see
                          Em G                   A7
That old sun comes shining   through the cypress trees
C                  G                  E                A7
A big old rambling house, built long ago for someone's wife
       D            Em             G      A7      D
In the heart of the city, living a mellow country life


                 A7             G                D
Barbara's in the kitchen, she's making lunch for Jill
                             Em     G             A7
Richard's loading up the Ford for a trip into the hills
    C                G     E              A7
And Don's out in the yard, working on his car
        D               Em          G       A7    D
And I'm sitting in this quiet room, playing my guitar


                           A7                   G             D
Well, I can't call them my family, 'cause we're not of common blood
                              Em G                       A7
When I think about going home,   this is one place I can come
C             G              E                A7
Living on the road without a house to call my own
     D              Em       G                 A7   D
That door is always open, it helps me feel I'm not alone


                        A7                  G             D
Well, many nights we've gathered around the table in this room
                         Em G                  A7
Singing songs and talking   and looking at the moon
  C           G               E                A7
A summer to remember when our time had passed away
     D                   Em          G         A7     D
It's hard to think where we might be ten years from today


                A7                 G              D
All around this country, we're all singers in one band
                                      Em         G                 A7
If you have a friend who's travelling, won't you help him when you can
C                       G                 E                  A7
Share the things you've learned and he'll tell you what he's seen
         D                 Em                G      A7      D
Let your songs bring you together, while you follow in your dreams
