[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
