Oak Ridge Boys

Oak Ridge Boys - Come On In guitar chord

Key of D

Throughout the song, play the two bass notes of the chords Bm, D, and

G during the verses. Use the bar chords for these. In the chorus it

opens up and then I don't use the bar chords.

Intro: Bm, D, Bm, D

Bm D

I dreamed I was dying in Texas

Bm D

I closed my eyes and I signed

Bm D

Like a black and white movie I saw my days

G Bm

Playing out before my eyes

D Bm

I was crippled by a life of injustice

D Bm

I was bent from walking through the wind

D Bm

I plead guilty on a day of judgement

G A

God just shook my hand and grinned

Chorus:

D A G

Bm A G

There's a little bit of right in every wrong

D A G

There's a little bit of me in you

Bm D

Sister I know that you're weary

Bm D

You've been slaving in the sun all day

Bm D

The burn of life in your belly

G Bm

Sorrow in your heart of clay

D Bm

Your husband was a man of passion

D Bm

And your son gave a life for your freedom

G A

But you feel like a prisoner anyway. Sister....

chorus, then Bm, D, Bm, D

Bm D

I left my home and my family

Bm D

With my shoes in the dust of this land

Bm D

I found a job and a woman

G Bm

But nothing went the way I planned

D Bm

I was ambushed by my own good intentions

D Bm

Used up every dollar I earned

D Bm

So I went back to the home of my father

D Bm

And said, "your American son has returned"

G A

"Dad, your American son has returned" ... and he said
