INTRO: F#m  D  F#m  A
 
                 D
An ocean without water
  A              D 
A winter without snow
  A          D  
A day in the summertime
                 A   D
With no place to go___
 
 
A               D
Nothing much is dawning
A           D 
Just a tiny glow
A               D 
Up ahead, sweet river home
               A   D
The only one I know_
 
 
A                  D
Shade trees on the north side
A                  D
Green grass on the hill
A                  D
Sun shines down on my front porch
                    A   D
Here at Springfield Mill
 
 
BRIDGE:
F#m                                                   A  Dbm  Bm
Living in the city, never knowing people, really alone
F#m                                                               B       A
Night life had me going so, I couldn't stay, I had to go ho-ho-ho-home
 
 
                D
Kids out in the meadow
A                  D
Clothes out on the line
   A              D
My woman's in the kitchen, says,
                          A    D
"It's getting 'bout suppertime__"
 
 
     A                 D
It's been right nice a-talking
     A              D
Come back and sit a spell
          A                  D
But don't ask me to leave my home again
                         A    D
Believe I'd rather go to Hell__
