G                              C  G
Now the days are getting longer
My dreams are growing stronger
Am
I need to be back home again

C               D    G
With the one I love

                                   C  G
Not a job to be had where I'm from
No one left, it seems they've all gone
Am
Up there in the northern towns

C                  D
Shipyards closing down
[Pre-Chorus]
        C
Oh but here in the south

      D
I've had enough

      C                D        G
It's time to go, back home
[Chorus]

Hold on 'cause I'm on my way

              C       G      D      G
You're gonna feel my kisses come today

      D          C       G
Hold on when I'm on the train

You're gonna hear that whistle blow

Be strong 'cause I'm on my way

              C       G      D      G
You're gonna feel my loving arms today

You're gonna hear that whistle blow
[Verse 2]
G                               C  G
Many more have had to leave now
Gotta find a job and somehow
Am
Make a living in a different world

C                 D     G
That our fathers knew

                               C  G
Better days will surely be here
I gotta go 'cause I have to see her
Am
So hard for those at home

C            D
Waiting all alone
[Pre-Chorus]
              C
And when you called last night

          D
And you began to cry

      C                D                  G
It's time to go, back home...  And I said
[Chorus]
     D              C     G
Hold on 'cause I'm on my way

              C       G      D      G
You're gonna feel my kisses come today

      D          C       G
Hold on when I'm on the train

              C   G/B   Am      D      G
You're gonna hear that whistle blow

    D                C      G
Be strong 'cause I'm on my way

              C       G      D      G
You're gonna feel my loving arms today

You're gonna hear that whistle blow

              C    G/B  Am     D
You're gonna hear that whistle blow
