Craig Morgan – Almost Home (Guitar)

C
He had plastic bags wrapped round his shoes

C
He was covered with the evening news

G                 D             G
Had a pair of wool socks on his hands

C
The banks sign was flashing five below

C
It was freezin' rain and spittin' snow

G                D              G
He was curled up behind some garbage cans

B                                 C
I was afraid that he was dead, I gave him a gentle shake

B                                   C               D
When he opened up his eyes I said, old man are you ok, he said

                                 C
I just climbed out of the cotton wood tree

                               G
I was running from some honey bees

                          C
Drip-drying in the summer breeze

                           D
After jumpin' into Calecoe Creek

                          C
I was walkin' down an old dirt road

                             G             G/F#
Past a field of hay that had just been mowed

Em                    C
Man I wish you'd just left me alone

D                  G
Cause I was almost home

C
Then he said, I was just comin' round the barn,

C
'Bout the time you grabbed my arm

G                D              G
I heard momma holler, son hurry up

C
I was close enough for my own nose

C
To smell fresh cobbler on the stove

G           D                 G
I saw daddy loadin' up the truck

B                            C
Cane poles on the tailgate, bobbler's blowin' in the wind

B                         C                       D
Since July of 55, that's as close as I've been, yeah

                                 C
I just climbed out of the cotton wood tree

                          C

                             G             G/F#

Em                    C
Man I wish you'd just left me alone

D                  G
Cause I was almost home

D
I said old man you're gonna freeze to death

       Em
Let me drive you to the mission

        C
He said boy if you'd left me alone

      D          Dsus4  D
Right now I'd be fishin'

                                 C

I was almost home
