  			I: 

  B 
I left my home one day 
        E               
For the sake of better pay 
B                                       F# 
In a forreign land 12 centuries back in time 
          B 
Where the sun keeps burning down 
       E                    
On the hole drilled in the ground 
      B            F#            B 
And I dream of the girl I left behind 

II: 

       B 
Well I signed the dotted line 
      E                       
And I thought in a few years time 
       B                                 F# 
I'd be home and we can start a brand new life 
    B  
But everything went wrong 
      E                    
And I just don't know how long 
          B               F#         B 
They will make me stay to pay for my crime 


      E 
And I wish I was 
B            E      B 
Rollin'home, rollin'home 
B                           F# 
Home to the place I long to be 
E           B            E      B 
Oh, oh, oh, rollin'home, rollin'home 
B               F#                B 
There's someone waiting there for me 

III: 

          B 
There's a law that rules this land 
       E 
That I just didn't understand 
  B                            F# 
I didn't know that I was doing wrong 
    B 
But they don't seem to care 
             E 
and they all do it when they're over there 
    B                 F#               B 
But here your face is justice of their god 


      E 
And I wish I was 
B            E      B 
Rollin'home, rollin'home 
B                           F# 
Home to the place I long to be 
E           B            E      B 
Oh, oh, oh, rollin'home, rollin'home 
B               F#                B 
There's someone waiting there for me 

IV: 

        B 
All the money that I've saved 
   E 
To pay for better days 
     B                                F# 
Just can't make up for how I miss you so 
           B 
There's no consolation prize 
        E 
Oh, but when I close my eyes 
    B           F#             B  
I'm dreaming of you in our new home 


      E 
And I wish I was 
B            E      B 
Rollin'home, rollin'home 
B                           F# 
Home to the place I long to be 
E           B            E      B 
Oh, oh, oh, rollin'home, rollin'home 
B               F#                B 
There's someone waiting there for me 
B                   F#                 B 
Rollin'home there's somone waiting for me 
B                   F#                 B 
Rollin'home there's somone waiting for me
