Em                         G          B7
A thousand miles you rode alone, all alone! 
        Em              C            G           B7
Oh, the long and lonely way will not lead you anywhere... 
       Em        Am        Em    B7 (Trumpet Fill)
You'll come back home some day; 
       Em        Am        Em    B7   Em  B7  Em (Trumpet Fill)
You'll come back home some day. 


[Verse 2]

N.C.                             Em    (Trumpet Fill)
The wind will steal your 'pot of gold' 
Em                              G            B7
And fill your eyes with burning sand, bitter sand! 
   Em                 C          G                  B7
No star will show the way and no one will hear your prayer... 
       Em        Am        Em    B7   (Trumpet Fill)
You'll come back home some day; 
       Em        Am        Em    B7   Em  B7 (Trumpet Fill)
You'll come back home some day.

    D         Em
You went away forever; 
    D         Em
You went away alone. 
    D                Em
But someone's always waiting 
   D          D         Em
For you... at home... today!
