E                    E7 
From the hills of Georgia 
           A 
Across the plains of Tennessee 
     B 
I've seen and I've done most everything 
                     E 
That a man can do or see 

                    E7 
But if I could only borrow 
    A 
One dream from yesterday 
    B 
I'd be on that train tomorrow 
                          E 
I'll be home on Christmas day 

E                 E7 
It's been so many times before 
              A 
She left that candle burning 
    B 
Oh, too many tears have fell 
                    E 
My soul filled with yearning 

   E         E7 
If I had any sense at all 
         A 
I'd just be on my way 
    B 
I'd be on that train tomorrow 
                          E 
I'll be home on Christmas day 

E                       E7 
Every time I think about her 
             A 
All the love I left behind 
     B 
And memories still linger 
               E 
In my troubled mind 

                     E7 
If I could set aside my pride 
     A 
Then I'd be on my way 
    B 
I'd catch that train tomorrow 
                          E 
I'll be home on Christmas day
