G D7 G D7
G D7 G D7
 
 
[Verse 1]
    G        D7        G
The closer I get to my home Lord
                   D7
The more I want to be there
              Am7          E7             Am7
There'll be a gathering of loved ones and friends
D7                      G          D7  G  D7
Lord you know I want to be there
 

 
{ CHORUS }
              G                                 G7
There'll be a mixture of teardrops and flowers
C
Crying and talking for hours
          G
'Bout how wild that I was
           D7                          G         C  G  D
And if I'd listened to them I wouldn't be there

              G           D7
Well, there's old Charlie Toll
     G                             D7
They threw away the mold when they made him
             E7       Am7
And Jimmy McCline, it looks like
    D7             G         D7  G  D7  G
The wine's finally laid him
             D7        G
And Billie McRae, that I could beat
    Gm       D7
Any day in a card game
Am               E7       Am7
-- And Bessie McNeal, but her tears
    D7          G          D7  G  D7
Are real, I can see pain
 
 
{ CHORUS }
              G                                 G7
There'll be a mixture of teardrops and flowers
C
Crying and talking for hours
          G
'Bout how wild that I was
           D7                          G         C  G  D
And if I'd listened to them I wouldn't be there
