Adam Carroll - Home Again guitar chord

Home Again

By Adam Carroll

Capo 1

Intro chords:

C G C D C Em D G twice

G D

We all move in circles from the day that we begin

Em C D G

We wait around til we run aground before it all comes back again

G D

He was a husband and a father just the same

Em C D G

But when his country went to war he knew they'd draw his name

G D

He told them he was crazy but they would not let him be

Em C D G

They sent him off as a wandering hero lost in an unknown sea

Chorus 1:

C G C G

He was fightin until nightfall, waitin for the day

C Em D C

that peace would come back and he could get back home again

C G C G

Washed upon a new land, feelin like an old man

C Em D G

He wasn't gettin any younger, he wants to get back home again

Twenty years is a long time when you wanna be some place else

I see his name in everyone just like I see myself

Seven years with calypso, immortality for love

And I stared at the constellations wishin for the girl I was dreamin of

Summer times I've stood underneath the beer joint sign

Cause even ol' Odysseus got bored from time to time

Chorus 2:

Diggin in my billfold, countin out the spare change

Gotta take a Greyhound so I can get back home again

Spent the night with strangers, lookin for my friends

Better keep on lookin til I get back home again

Bridge:

Em C D Em

Old times always stay the same and brand new days are strange

Em C A D D/C D/B D/A

But you never lose yourself and all you do is change

All our days are short next to the rings around a tree

But trouble like the Cyclops keeps one great big eye on me

I won't run out of courage and I won't give up the game

Cause everybody's watchin you when nobody is your name

Chorus 3:

Stuck inside a mouse hole runnin' out of hope

Better keep on diggin til you get back home again

Make it through the worst pains, callin out the Gods' names

They'll stick besides you until you get home again
