Merle Haggard – My Home Is In The Street (Guitar)

C               F            C
No sir, I'm not homeless, my home is in the street

                    F                 C
I'm not some lonely person down there begging round your feet

                F             C          G/B      Am G
Somehow we stay warm and cozy huddled in the wind

F C                         G                              C
No sir, I'm not homeless, we just need a house to put it in

        C              F                 C    G/B Am
You see daddy lost his good job last No- vem- ber

    Dm                            G
And we were way behind on rent by then

C                   F            C         G/B     Am   G
Mom and dad said, " Baby, always hold your head up high

F                          G               C
Yeah, and always keep your backside to the wind"

C               F            C
No sir, I'm not homeless, my home is in the street

                    F                 C
I'm not some lonely person down there begging round your feet

                F             C          G/B Am   G
Somehow we stay warm and cozy huddled in the wind

F C                         G                              C
No sir, I'm not homeless, we just need a house to put it in

   C                                   F
At first they looked just like another family down on their luck

C
Searching for shelter in a storm

                                              F
But it was then I noticed something different

                                 C
I think more in attitude than in appearance

                                           F
And though it was rather cold that morning

                             C         G/B               Am     G
As I stepped closer to their circle it seemed to radiate warmth

            F                        C
And in this little girls eyes were a light

                               G
And as I asked her about being homeless

                                C
She proudly raised her head and said it right

C               F            C
No sir, I'm not homeless, my home is in the street

                      F                C
We're not some lonely people down here begging round your feet

                F             C          G/B Am   G F
Somehow we stay warm and cozy huddled in the wind

C                         G
No sir, I'm not homeless, we just need a house to put it in
