[Intro]
 
C
 
[Verse 1]

 
          C                C7      F
There's a storm across the valley, clouds are rolling in; 
    G7                         C
the afternoon is heavy on your shoulders 
          C                C7           F
There's a truck out on the four lane, a mile or more away; 
    G7                                  C
the whining of his wheels just makes it colder 
 
[Verse 2]
 
        C              C7              F
He's an hour away from riding, on your prayers up in the sky; 
    G7                              C
and ten days on the road are barely gone 
          C           C7       F
There's a fire softly burning, supper's on the stove;
             G7                                C    C7
but it's the light in your eyes that makes him warm 
 
{ CHORUS }
 
F                 G7            C   C7
Hey, it's good to be back home again 
F          G7             C                      F
Sometimes, this old farm, feels like a long lost friend, 
         G7                             C    C7
yes, and hey it's good to be back home again 
 
[Verse 3]
 
        C               C7        F
There's all the news to tell him, how’d you spend your time; 
    G7                                    C    C7
and what's the latest thing the neighbors say? 
         C                  C7      F
And your mother called last Friday, Sunshine made her cry;
        G7                            C   C7
and you felt the baby move just yesterday 
 
{ CHORUS }
 
F                 G7            C   C7
Hey, it's good to be back home again (yes it is)
F          G7             C                      F
Sometimes, this old farm, feels like a long lost friend, 
         G7                             C    C7
yes, and hey it's good to be back home again 
 
[Bridge]
 
    F                 G7             C              F
And oh, the time that I can lay this tired old body down 
    Dm               G7            C      C7
and feel your fingers feather soft upon me 
    F             G7            C                   F
The kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way 
    Dm            F               G7
the happiness that living with you brings me
 
[Verse 4]
 
         C                C7            F
It's the sweetest thing I know of, just spending time with you;
         G7                                C
it's the little things that make a house a home 
       C           C7           F
Like a fire softly burning, and supper on the stove; 
        G7                               C    C7
and the light in your eyes that makes me warm
 
{ CHORUS }
 
F                 G7            C   C7
Hey, it's good to be back home again 
F          G7             C                      F
Sometimes, this old farm, feels like a long lost friend, 
         G7                             C    C7
yes, and hey it's good to be back home again 
 
{ CHORUS }
 
F                 G7            C   C7
Hey, it's good to be back home again (you know it is)
F          G7             C            F    C7   F
Sometimes, this old farm, feels like a long lost friend, 
G7                             C    C7
hey it's good to be back home again
