Chords

[Intro] G D Em C D [Verse 1]
            G                   D
When you arrived in Canada you walked the streets

        Em                   G       D
Out of work out of money, prospects bleak

         G                         D
Now the plane comes down from the morning sky

         Em                       C         D
and you touch the land where the fire won't die
[Chorus]
G               D
Johnny, you're home, man

        C
It's a long road

     Em       D
you drove us down

      G      D
It's only a moment

           C
Since the diesels turned
{Verse 2]
          G                           D
Now the blade cuts clean through the island soil

      Em                      G           D
The years roll back and the world grows small

       G                       D
You stand on the banks in the wind and the rain

     Em                      C          D
And all of your money can't hide this pain
[Chorus]
G               D
Johnny, you're home, man

        C
It's a long road

     Em       D
you drove us down

      G      D
It's only a moment

           C
Since the diesels turned
[Bridge]
Em                          C
The heath flame is burning bright

               Em
burning every night

                 G   D
It's winter in Ontario

Em                                 C
The wheels that turned us village kids

                         Em
Still carry through the heaths

                G        D
They no longer turn for you
[Verse 3]
        G                         D
So you hold your mother and you bless the air

          Em                      G            D
With the tears of the emigrant, tongue of the Gael

         G                    D
And the plane takes off in a clear blue sky

          Em                C        D
Life's a long lost list of last goodbyes
[Chorus]
G               D
Johnny, you're home, man

        C
It's a long road

     Em       D
you drove us down

      G      D
It's only a moment

           C
Since the diesels turned

G               D
Johnny, you're home, man

        C
It's a long road

     Em       D
you drove us down

      G      D
It's only a moment

           C
Since the diesels turned
[Outro] G D Em G D G D Em C D
