Back Home Again

Words and Music by John Denver
from Back Home Again (1974)




	     E                E7             A
1) There's a storm across the valley,        clouds are rollin' in
2) He's an   hour away from   ridin' on your prayers up in the sky
       B7                                E
1) the afternoon is heavy on your shoul-ders.
2) and ten days on the road are barely   gone.
	     E                E7             A
1) There's a truck out on the four lane, a   mile or more away
2) There's a fire softly      burning;       supper's on the stove
		B7                                  E
1) the          whinin' of his wheels just makes it colder.
2) but it's the light in your eyes that makes him   warm.

	 A                 B7             E7
Chorus:  Hey, it's good to be back home a-gain
	 A         B7                 E7                A
	 Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
		  B7                            E7
	 Yes, 'n, hey it's good to be back home again

3) After all the news to tell him: how's you spend your time?
   And what's the latest thing the neighbors say
   and your mother called last friday; "Sunshine" made her cry
   and you felt the baby move just yesterday.

Chorus
	    A                 B7                   E        A
Bridge: And oh, the time that I can lay this tired old body down
	    Fm                B7              E    E7
	and feel your fingers feather soft up-on me
	    A             B7            E                      A
	the kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way
	    Fm             A               B7
	the happiness that livin' with you brings me.

4) It's the sweetest thing I know of, just spending time with you
   it's the little things that make a house a home.
   Like a fire softly burning and supper on the stove.
   And the light in your eyes that makes me warm.
