She Keeps the Home Fires Burning

By: Ronnie Milsap

Key of G

Intro: G C D G C D

G C G

Crack of dawn I hit the road, set my shoulders for the heavy load

C G C G

Coffee leaking through the paper sack

G C G

The foreman says I'm late again, he can't stand it when I only grin

C G C G

He's got me eight hours, she's got me after that

D

I can't wait 'til it's quittin' time

D

She got something cookin' for me tonight.

Chorus

G C D

She keeps the homefires burning

Am7 G

While I'm out earning a living in a world

C D

That's known for its pouring rain

G C D

She keeps the homefires burning Am7 D G CG

Ooh and it's her warm loving that keeps me returning again

G C D G

G C G

Out of gas, just my luck, four bald tires on my pickup truck

C G C G

No more credit on my credit card

G

When I come home and hit that door I remember what these aching arms are

for

C G C G

She's my one light when the world goes dark

D

Tomorrow it's the same old grind

But she'll be burning in my mind
