Intro: A D 
       A E D 

    A                 D   
Ive spent too long away from home 
                                A 
Did all the things I could have done  
                     D 
Gone are the days of endless thrills 
                       A 
I know Im not the only one 
   E        D          A 
So long, Im goin, goin home 

  A                   D 
I saw the streets all ripe with jewels 
                          A 
Balconies and the laundry lines 
                      D 
They tried to make me welcome there 
                                    A 
But their streets did not feel like mine 
   E        D          A 
So long, Im goin, goin home 

  A               D 
I want the sun to hit my face 
                              A 
Through oak trees in the open lot 
                 D       
Forget about the things you want 
                             A 
Be thankful for what all you got 
   E        D          A 
So long, Im goin, goin home
