Intro
C G Am7/G F - G G
C G
I come from a long line of pain
Am Am7/G F - G
My family suffered great of all my games
C G
And I think a lot about
Am Am7/G F G G
How my daddy died, so I would not live with that
Am G C
And his heart is in my song
F
But the melody comes
G C G/B Am
And just as quickly, the melody is gone
F
I’m back alone
G
Far from home.
Now my momma is all alone
I try to call her and see her when I’m home
After all that she’s been trough
All the doctors say; there ain’t nothing we can do..
And her heart is in my song
But the melody comes
And just as quickly, the melody is gone
I’m back alone
Far from home.
Am G/B C
There’s a bird outside my window
F G
Takes his song where he goes
C G/B Am
And leaves it there
F G
Like a dead men’s rocking chair..
Solo
And tonight I’m feeling lost and
Headin’ down the highway out to boston
I get the sense I might lose it
I thank god tonight for the lot I got in music
‘Cause my heart is in this song
But the melody comes
And just as quickly, the melody is gone
I’m back alone
Far from home.
