C               G         F      C 
In my dreams I hear the wildcat whine 
                 G       F         C 
And I smell the rain on long-leaf pine 
     Bb     F        G 
You know I toss and moan 

C           G            F       C 
Outside my window is a flashing sign 
              G          F       C 
It lights my room, ten steps by nine 
       Bb          F          C        Bb  F  C 
Sandy loam, sandy loam, I'm coming home 

Bb     F        C 
Sandy loam, is where I'm bound 
       Bb     F          C 
That's what I am, right down to the ground 
       Bb         F         C 
That bottom land soil, they call black gold 
     Bb    F        G 
Is calling me back home

           C     G          F      C 
It was a silver city on a silver screen 
                          G              F         C 
That took the mind of a child from his fields of green 
   Bb   F    G 
A long time ago 

           C         G       F        C 
But that stone and steel is hard and cold 
                G          F          C 
It's a chill I feel right down to my soul 
       Bb          F                C 
Sandy loam, sandy loam, I'm coming home  
       Bb          F                C   Bb  F  C  Bb  F  C 
Sandy loam, sandy loam, I'm coming home
