Intro: (v = downstroke, ^ = upstroke, . = pick separate strings)

GGG G G G D A D ADADA Em G G

v^v v v v v v v vvvvv v.... v........ v........

D A

Back in seventyfive when the kid was on the line

Em G

and he felt no pain 'cause there was none

D A

He would bend in the wind, take in anything

Em G

like sniffin' roses, and it was all right

Em A

until he fell and cut his hand

G Bm

He just could not understand

Em D/F# G E

He ran away, blame pretence for defence

A

or plain innocence

Said that's all right,

G D A Em

the harder it fights, I'm one step closer to home

G D A Em

The deeper it bites , I'm one step closer to home

G D

And you can tie my hands or whip my back

G D

I can't give in, till the sky turns black

G D G D A D

I may get lost - I'm one step closer to home

ADADA Em G (As in the Intro.)

D A

Oh yeah, he ran, hitched rides, travelled light

Em G

left his bags behind, said he lost them

D A

He said that's O.K. I got money and a smile

Em G

from place to place, and they don't mind

Em A

I've had the heads of businessmen

A Bm

and I just gave them right back again

Em D/F# G Em

I've got no need for device, disguise

A

or plain compromise

Said that's all right,

G D A Em

the tougher it gets, I'm one step closer to home

G D A Em

the more that I sweat, I'm one step closer to home

G D

And you can tie my hands or whip my back

G D

I can't give in, till the sky turns black

G D G D A D

I may get lost - I'm one step closer to home

Bm D

There ain't no need for this, at all, at all

surely you can help me out, say

Em F#m

I know a lot of people, just like you

G Bm

plenty to live for and nothing to lose, so

D A

tear it all down, smash it all up

D A

break it all down, and then just stop

D A D A

build it up

D A

build it up

D A

build it up

D A

and the tougher it gets and the more that I sweat

D G

and the harder it fights and the deeper it bites

D A Em

I'm one step closer to home

G

the harder it fights

D A

I'm one step closer to home

G D

And you can tie my hands or whip my back

G D

I can't give in, till the sky turns black

G D G D A D

I may get lost - I'm one step closer to home
