G                  C           G 
It may be down the south in Alabama 

                D7                   G 
Or maybe just a little old one horse town 

                   C                    G 
It could be on the back streets of Chicago 

                      D7                       G 
But if it's home it's still the greatest place around 


                                  
Home's where a kid grows up  

    C                  G 
And spends his younger days 


Home is where I long to be 
  
   C              D7 
No matter how far away 


G                   C                      G 
There may be an old sweetheart still there waiting 

                   D7                  G 
Can't tell I might even find a few old friends 

                  C                 G 
I know my mom and dad would like to see me 

                           D7           G 
And know I want so much to go back home again 



Home's where a kid grows up 
  
    C                  G 
And spends his younger days 


Home is where I long to be 
  
   C              D7
