"HOME SWEET HOME" - Split Enz, from their third single 'No Bother to Me' (1975)
As a forewarning I realise this may originally been played higher up the neck with a capo but, with the
isolated tracks, these are the closest chords you'll get with no capo and are identical to the original...
lots of stretches and strange chord shapes (Such as the Emaj9), such is the nature of Phil and Tim's
songwriting!

[Verse 1]
D E/G# Willows weep, the pillows they do sleep D Home sweet home, to each his own Amaj7 I always say D He's a man of few words E/G# A bundle of nerves, wait and see D And while his mind works best in darkness Amaj7 Coming up from behind E/G# The frightened keep on running D E/G# While he just hangs around
E/G# D A E/G# D A E/G# D B
[Verse 2]
D Home sweet home Amaj7 To each his own I always say D Amaj7 Martin tries to use his eyes in every way D Help ease the situation
He's happy with what he's got
Amaj7 The kid with his candy, finger painting and blocks D In pitch black he's taking action Amaj7 What is the cause? Emaj9 Then came the applause
[Bridge]

"It was a cold and windy afternoon
And through the tumbling clouds you could see the moon
All the mums and dad had come to see the things their kiddies had done
And out jumped Martin dressed to his tens in the Campbells tartan
All eyes watched him, skipping and dancing. Everyone laughed
But Martin was deaf and couldn't hear a thing, he just kept
Dancing the highland fling"
D Amaj7 D Amaj7 D Amaj7
Bm Bm D/F# Now he's proud of his efforts E/G# That young lad Martin A E/G# From the local kindergarten
[Outro]
D Home sweet home to each his own Amaj7 I always say D Amaj7 Martin tries to use his eyes in every way D Home sweet home to each his own Amaj7 I always say D Home sweet home to each his own Amaj7 I always say
D Amaj7 (repeat to fade)
Home home on the range...
