Slim Dusty – Finally Made It Home (Guitar)

  C               D                G
I finally made it home an' I'll be stayin',

C              D                 G
Nothin's gonna make me change my mind,

Em                           D
I just saw the first of many landmarks,

    Em             G             D
The opening of the old abandoned mine,

        C               D            G
I can't wait to see the old familiar faces,

   C              D                 G
As we come in the main street of my town,

    F            C                     D
The truckie here beside me said, "I'll see ya."

  F                 C                G
I thank him for the lift and jump on down.

  C                     D              G
I head straight for the pub and nearly miss it,

        C                      D             G
They've done it up and there's carpet on the floor,

Em                                 D
Lots of plastic tables and strange faces,

        Em        G              D
The old upright piano's gone for sure.

  C            D                 G
I take a look around for someone I might know,

        C        D                    G
Ask the barmaid about some friends of mine,

    F           C                 D
She looks at me peculiar, all she does is shrug,

  F                  C              G
I doubt if she would give a man the time.

   C                  D                   G
At least the beer was good, and so I have another,

       C               D                   G
With a special counter lunch and then some smokes,

  Em                               D
I helped the owner pay for his new carpet,

        Em           G                  D
And his fancy prices sure would send ya broke,

      C              D                G
Oh, I walk around my town but it's so different,

    C                 D           G
The produce store's a supermarket now,

       F            C           D
Oh but mostly I see people in a hurry,

    F                  C                G
And where they used to smile, they only frown.

  C               D                G
I finally made it home but I can't stay here,

     C                 D                G
It's changed so much I had to change my mind,

       F               C                 D
Oh the town is full of faces but they're empty,

   F            C             G
As empty as the old abandoned mine.
