                    G
Ah, one, two ...  (break)
[Verse]
        Cadd9                         A7sus4
She was counting out the window of an outbound train

        G
All the poles of the telegraph

        Cadd9                    A7sus4
And the rock-a-bye rhythm in the song of the rails

         G                Cadd9
Couldn't make the sweeper laugh
[Bridge]
Bm                   Am
Down, down, down, so deep

Bm                          D
Down, down, drowning in his sleep
[Chorus]
C       Am     G           |  G  |
Tommy's coming home again
(break) (build up) [Verse]
      Cadd9                     A7sus4
And a hawk hovered high above a skinny jackrabbit

   G
Pursued by a hungry fox

      Cadd9                   A7sus4
And a broker awoke her from a fitful slumber

   G                         Cadd9
Consulted his shares and his stocks
[Bridge]
Bm                     Am
Down, down, down, they go

Bm                          D
Down down - how he'll never know
[Chorus]
C       Am     G
Tommy's coming home again

         C      Am           Em
And it's almost April Fools' Day
[Verse]
      Cadd9                        A7sus4
As he glanced on his paper looking through the veil

         G
He could see she was really upset

       Cadd9                       A7sus4
As she tucked back the ribbon in a velvet box

      G                 Cadd9
As he offered her a cigarette
[Bridge]
Bm                           Am
Down, down, down, she took a drag

Bm                    D
Now he's covered in a flag
[Chorus]
C       Am     G
Tommy's coming home again

         C      Am           Em
And it's almost April Fools' Day
[Middle 8]
G      Cadd9        G
Almost April Fools' Day

        Cadd9          G
And the joke's on everyone

   Bm          Em
He had that premonition

     A                D
Only dead men dwell upon
[Verse]
      Cadd9                       A7sus4
Well, how could he know that only twelve months later

          G
She would wear her skirt up over her knee

           Cadd9                       A7sus4
And in the very same carriage she'd be flattened with roses

       G                    Cadd9
And forget the tears of bigotry
[Bridge]
Bm                     Am
Down, down, down, they flow

Bm                               D
Down, down, down - it just don't matter anymore
[Chorus]
C       Am      G
Tommy's made it home again

            C      Am           Em
When it was almost April Fools' Day
[[Middle 8]
G      Cadd9        G
Almost April Fools' Day

        Cadd9          G
And the joke's on everyone

   Bm          Em
He had that premonition

     A                D
Only dead men dwell upon
[Coda]
C       Am     G
Tommy's coming home again

C       Am     G
Tommy's coming home again

C       Am     G
Tommy's coming home
