John Prine – My Darlin Hometown (Guitar)

D                 Em
Far away over the sea

          A7                      D
There's a river that's calling to me

     D                  Em
That river she runs all around

    A7                       D
The place that I call my hometown

          D                         Em
There's a valley on the side of the hill

    A7                      D
And flowers on an old windowsill

  D                       Em
A familiar old picture it seems

    A7                          D
And I'll go there tonight in my dreams

           G
Where it's green in the summer

    D
And gold in the fall

    E
Her eyes are as blue

       A7
As the sky I recall

D                 Em
Far away over the sea

          A7                     D
There's a place at the table for me

      D                  Em
Where laughter and music abound

     A7                      D
Just waiting there in my hometown

    G
The river she freezes

             D
When there's snow on the ground

        E
And the children can slide

       A7
To the far side of town

D                 Em
Far away far away me

A7                     D
Hung up on a sweet memory

    D                      Em
I'm lost and I wish I were found

       A7                     D
In the arms of my darlin' hometown

         G
With the evening sun sittin'

       D
On the top of the hill

        E
And the mockingbird answering

    A7
The old chapel bell

D                 Em
Far away over the sea

   A7                  D
My heart is longing to be

      D                       Em
And I wish I could lay myself down

       A7                      D
In the arms of my darlin' hometown
