Intro:  F  F  G  F  F  G

F                           F F
Crack of dawn I hit the road, set my shoulders for the heavy load
        F                        F  F F
Coffee leaking through the paper sack
F                               F F
The foreman says I'm late again, he can't stand it when I only grin
            F                               F   F  F
He's got me eight hours, she's got me after that
  G
I can't wait 'til it's quittin' time
G
She got something cookin' for me tonight.


Chorus
              F   F     G
She keeps the homefires burning
                Dm7                 F
While I'm out earning a living in a world
        F                    G
That's known for its pouring rain
              F   F      G
She keeps the homefires burning
             Dm7                  G                  F   F F
Ooh and it's her warm loving that keeps me returning again

F F G F

F                       F F
Out of gas, just my luck, four bald tires on my pickup truck
        F                   F   F F
No more credit on my credit card
F
When I come home and hit that door I remember what these aching arms are
for
         F                              F F F
She's my one light when the world goes dark
G
Tomorrow it's the same old grind

But she'll be burning in my mind
