G                 Em7                 G              Em7

  G                           Em7                F/C               C
instead of you hicks straight out of the sticks deciding I ain't a man
C        D                G

F C Am7 D Up here I'm just a whiskey bum but down there I'm a king F C Am7 Dsus4 It sounds just like the angels up in heaven when they sing: D7 G Em7 G Em7 G Em7 "Welcome home, welcome home." -- Such a sight to see F C G/B Am7 instead of some Salvation Army sister singin' C/D G Em7 G Em7 "Nearer My God to Thee." G Em7 G Em7 Now I know that the Yankee whiskey is takin' away my mind G Em7 G Em7 and I know that run is the only drink suitable to man-kind G Em7 G Em7 And I know that this tree I'm under is shaped entirely wrong G Em7 F/C C I need to see a gentle palm tree and I won't wait too long C D G I can feel that it's comin' on strong F C Am7 D The first cold wind of winter is flappin' in my clothes F C Am7 C/D Showin' me the way with the direction that it blows. G Em G Em7 Welcome home, welcome home, let it blow. [repeat and fade]
