Miranda Lambert varies the way she picks each chord. That will take a little improv or you could play just the chords, or follow the basic style that each finger picking section is based off of which I have tabbed right here. Make sure you use the chords the way they are written here because the low E string is now a D.

[Verse 1] D F#m I know they say you can't go home again I just had to come back one last time G Ma'am, I know you don't know me from Adam D A But these hand prints on the front steps are mine D Up those stairs in that little back bedroom F#m Is where I did my homework and I learned to play guitar G And I bet you didn't know under that live oak D A My favorite dog is buried in the yard G D I thought if I could touch this place or feel it Em D This brokenness inside me might start healing G Out here it's like I'm someone else [Chorus] Bm G I thought that maybe I could find myself D G If I could just come in, I swear I'll leave D Won't take nothing but a memory A D From the house that built me [Verse 2] D Mama cut out pictures of houses for years F#m From "Better Homes and Garden" magazines G Plans were drawn and concrete poured And nail by nail and board by board D A Daddy gave life to mama's dream [Chorus] G D I thought if I could touch this place or feel it Em D This brokenness inside me might start healing G Out here it's like I'm someone else Bm G I thought that maybe I could find myself D G If I could just come in, I swear I'll leave D Won't take nothing but a memory A D From the house that built me [Bridge] Bm You leave home, you move on D And you do the best you can Em I got lost in this whole world G A And forgot who I am [Chorus] G D I thought if I could touch this place or feel it Em D This brokenness inside me might start healing G Out here it's like I'm someone else Bm G I thought that maybe I could find myself D G If I could walk around, I swear I'll leave D Won't take nothing but a memory A D From the house that built me ************************************ | x Dead note | h Hammer-on ************************************
