[Intro]
Dm   Am   Em   F
Dm   Am   Em   F
 

 
[Verse 1]
Dm
On the hill where Custer was,
Am
Making his last stand,
Em
With the Indians all around,
F
And his gun in his hand.
Dm
Such a wind was blowing that day,
Am
Through the battleground,
Em
I could feel it in my hair,
F
As I turned towards downtown.
Dm
Weaving through the buildings,
Am
Cutting though the streets,
Em
Slicing through the culture,
F
Piling on the weeks.
 
 
{ CHORUS }
      Dm    Am        G
Going home, I'm going home.
      Dm    C         G
Going home, I'm going home.
 
 
[Interlude]
Dm   Am   Em   F
Dm   Am   Em   F

[Verse 2]
Dm
Dropping in on you my friend,
Am
Is just like old times,
Em
Said the fool who signed the paper,
F
To assorted slimes.
Dm
It's hard to get blood from a stone
Am
But for you I'll give it a try,
Em
To provide your accomodations,
E
And leave you satisfied.
Dm
You'd think it was easy,
Am
To give your life away,
Em
To not have to live up to,
F
The promises you made.
 
 
{ CHORUS }
      Dm    Am        G
Going home, I'm going home.
      Dm    C         G
Going home, I'm going home.
G
Going home.

[Verse 3]
Dm
Elusively she cut the phone,
Am
They went from cell to cell,
Em
Really looking remarkable,
F
And obviously doing well.
Dm
She made a turn on a wooden bridge,
Am
Into the battleground,
Em
With a thousand warriors on the ridge,
F
She tried to turn her radio down.
Dm
Battle drums were pounding,
Am
All around her car,
Em
She saw her clothes were changing,
F
Into sky and stars.
 
 
{ CHORUS }
          Dm    Am        G
I'm going home, I'm going home.
      Dm    C         G
Going home, I'm going home.

Going home, I'm going home.

Going home, I'm going home.
