    F
I'm arriving on the day's last train

                                     C7
Stepping on the platform, trying to see you through the rain

         F
I don't know the ways you've changed since I left

                    F
and I really don't care

      G                            F                          F
I've done my tour of duty now I'm home and I ain't going anywhere

I taught myself to tolerate the pain

all the loneliness and boredom and the work I did in vain

         F                                             F
All the work we did in vain. Now I'm not the same as I was

       G                            F                       F

I'll seem so satisfied here

           F             
I've been eating like I'm out on bail

                                     C7
Collard greens and chicken wings and oysters by the pail

       F                                              F
Eating oysters by the pail, making up for those lost days

Cause I've done my tour of duty now I'm going to put you in the family way

      E/C                 F               F
We'll laugh like little children telling secrets

         E/C           F              G
Probably cry like old women drinking gin

              F                            F
because I've done my tour of duty now I'm home

                           F
and I ain't leaving here again

      G                            F                               F
I've done my tour of duty now I'm home and I ain't leaving here again
