[Intro] G [Chorus]
        G                                       D      Dsus4  D
Take me back to the place where I first saw the light

      G           G7             C
To my sweet sunny south, take me home

C7        G           C         G           D      Dsus4  D
Where the wild birds sing me to sleep every night

   G         D          G
Oh why was I tempted to roam
[Verse]
    G                                    D      Dsus4  D
The path to our cabin they say has grown green

        G                G7     C
And the stones are quite mossy around

C7     G             C             G            D      Dsus4  D
And I know that the places and the forms that I love

     G         D          G
Now lie in the cold mossy ground
[Chorus]
        G                                       D      Dsus4  D
Take me back to the place where I first saw the light

      G                  G7      C
To my sweet sunny south, take me home

C7         G           C         G           D      Dsus4  D
Where the wild birds sing me to sleep every night

   G         D          G
Oh why was I tempted to roam
[Instrumental] G D Dsus4 D G G7 C Csus4 C7 G C G D Dsus4 D G D G [Verse]
        G                                         D      Dsus4  D
Take me back to the place where the orange trees grow

      G            G7           C
To my place in the evergreen shade

C7        G               C            G          D      Dsus4  D
Where the flowers on the river's green margins do grow

     G                 D             G
And share their sweet scent with the glade
[Chorus]
        G                                       D      Dsus4  D
Take me back to the place where I first saw the light

      G           G7             C
To my sweet sunny south, take me home

C7        G           C         G           D      Dsus4  D
Where the wild birds sing me to sleep every night

   G          D         G
Oh why was I tempted to roam
