G                       C          G
Hello old man, have you room for a wanderer

C       G        D         G
Running from his checkered past

G               C        G
No I'm not your favorite son

  C     G    D        G
I never even tied for last

G                          C            G
Do you still cuss the dirt and pray for rain

C        G              D        G
Stubborn as the sun and twice as vain

G               C        D
Think about all you have done

           C       G         D        G
Before you tell me you ain't wandered none
Chorus:
         Em              C         G
Now your wayward son has come back home

           Em                   C     D
What'd you think about me while I was gone

    Em             C       G 
Old man when I was on your knee

C                             D          G
Didn't you think I'd turn out to be like me

G                  C        G
Hello old man, the world is strange

C        G                D     G
Cuts you up and mends you back again

    G                   C         D
You got your scars in a forgotten war

C      G      D        G
Mine I got on bar room floors

G                      C            G
Well you told me tales when I was a child

C         G                  D       G
Lord they made me wonder and made me wild

G                C       D
I guess I had to be like you

      C          G       D      G
There weren't no war but I made do
Chorus:
         Em              C         G
Now your wayward son has come back home

           Em                   C     D
What'd you think about me while I was gone

    Em             C       G 
Old man when I was on your knee

C                             D          G
Didn't you think I'd turn out to be like me

G                  C      G
Hello old man life rolls along

C        G              D             G
I'm just trying to reap what you have sown

          G                     C       D
You never wished me well on the night I left

C         G        D       G
But in my eyes you saw yourself
Chorus:
         Em              C         G
Now your wayward son has come back home

           Em                   C     D
What'd you think about me while I was gone

    Em             C       G 
Old man when I was on your knee

C                             D          G
Didn't you think I'd turn out to be like me

C                                  D          G
you should have known I'd turn out to be like you
