https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back_Home_Again_(John_Denver_album) [Intro] E [Verse 1]
          E                E7      A 
There's a storm across the valley, clouds are rolling in; 

    B7                         E
the afternoon is heavy on your shoulders 

          E                E7           A 
There's a truck out on the four lane, a mile or more away; 

    B7                                  E 
the whining of his wheels just makes it colder 
[Verse 2]
        E              E7              A
He's an hour away from riding, on your prayers up in the sky; 

    B7                              E 
and ten days on the road are barely gone 

          E           E7       A 
There's a fire softly burning, supper's on the stove;

             B7                                E    E7
but it's the light in your eyes that makes him warm 
[Chorus]
A                 B7            E   E7 
Hey, it's good to be back home again 

A          B7             E                      A 
Sometimes, this old farm, feels like a long lost friend, 

         B7                             E    E7  
yes, and hey it's good to be back home again 
[Verse 3]
        E               E7        A 
There's all the news to tell him, how'd you spend your time; 

    B7                                    E    E7
and what's the latest thing the neighbors say? 

         E                  E7      A 
And your mother called last Friday, Sunshine made her cry;

        B7                            E   E7   
and you felt the baby move just yesterday 
[Chorus]
A                 B7            E   E7 
Hey, it's good to be back home again (yes it is)

A          B7             E                      A 
Sometimes, this old farm, feels like a long lost friend, 

         B7                             E    E7
yes, and hey it's good to be back home again 
[Bridge]
    A                 B7             E              A 
And oh, the time that I can lay this tired old body down 

    F#m               B7            E      E7 
and feel your fingers feather soft upon me 

    A             B7            E                   A 
The kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way 

    F#m            A               B7 
the happiness that living with you brings me
[Verse 4]
         E                E7            A 
It's the sweetest thing I know of, just spending time with you;

         B7                                E 
it's the little things that make a house a home 

       E           E7           A 
Like a fire softly burning, and supper on the stove; 

        B7                               E    E7 
and the light in your eyes that makes me warm
[Chorus]
A                 B7            E   E7 
Hey, it's good to be back home again 

A          B7             E                      A 
Sometimes, this old farm, feels like a long lost friend, 

         B7                             E    E7
yes, and hey it's good to be back home again 
[Chorus]
A                 B7            E   E7 
Hey, it's good to be back home again (you know it is)

A          B7             E            A    E7   A 
Sometimes, this old farm, feels like a long lost friend, 

B7                             E    E7
hey it's good to be back home again 
[Outro]
         B7                             A     E 
yes, and hey it's good to be back home again
