Old Crow Medicine Show – Homecoming Party (Guitar)

C
Leave my suitcase by the car I'll bring it in in the mornin'

G                    C               F
Stack my guitar case just inside the door

Dm
Pet the dog too tired to wag his tail

                                    G
Check the mail and walk on down the hallway

                          C
I've got to fix these old floor boards

                   G               Am
Wash up at the sink, glance in the mirror

            G                  F                  Em             Dm
Who is that man who ain't been here in three long weeks or maybe more?

         G
All this gettin' off the road has got me ragged to the bone and coming home

                            C
There ain't no homecoming party

                                                          F
The sound of wakin' children when the daylight starts to show

         Dm
And it's silent up the carpet stairs and peek into the nursery

          G                                  C
Where the little ones are dreamin' sweet and low

                                         Am
I can hear 'em cryin', "daddy where you been?

            C               F                      C        Dm
And did you bring me back a present from a distant sunny shore?"

         G
All this gettin' off the road has got me ragged to the bone and coming home

                            C
There ain't no homecoming party

        Am                  F
Oh it's 10, 000 places and 20, 000 faces

     G                                C
And half a million miles I'm bound to row

        Am                     F
And I'm weary and wasted, and all that I can taste is

    Dm                              G  G7
One lonesome tear on the tip of my tongue

C                                                                     F
She must've left the light on I'll just slip into the bed and let it burn

Dm
And when our bodies touch I'l pull away and not disturb her

        G                               C
Even though I long for love so much it hurts

                                Am
And maybe we won't argue in the mornin'

         C                F             C           Dm7   Dm
We'll be makin' love and just let that old calendar turn

        G                                                              G7
All this gettin' off the road has got me ragged to the bone and coming home

                   G     C
Sure ain't no homecoming party
