[Verse 1]
G                           C G
Crack of dawn I hit the road, set my shoulders for the heavy load

        C                        G  C G
Coffee leaking through the paper sack

G                                C G
  The foreman says I'm late again,   he can't stand it when I only grin

            C                               G   C  G
He's got me eight hours, she's got me after that

D                                              D
I can't wait 'til it's quittin' time,  she got  something cookin' for me tonight.
[Chorus]
              G   C     D
She keeps the homefires burning

                Am7                 G
While I'm out earning a living in a world

        C                    D
That's known for its pouring rain

              G   C      D
She keeps the homefires burning

             Am7                  D                  G   C G
Ooh and it's her warm loving that keeps me returning again

[Verse 2]
G                       C G
Out of gas, just my luck, four bald tires on my pickup truck

        C                   G   C G
No more credit on my credit card

     G
When I come home and hit that door I remember what these aching arms are for

         C                              G C G
She's my one light when the world goes dark

D                                  D
  Tomorrow it's the same old grind, but she'll be burning in my mind
[Chorus]

She keeps the homefires burning

While I'm out earning a living in a world

        C                    D
That's known for its pouring rain
