Interpretation by Stephen O?Hora
It?s played with some flourishes on the G chord at the end of each line, the ?G-C? is like:
|----3---3--3---3--3-|
|--------------------|
|--------------------|
|-----------2------2-|
|----2------3------3-|
|-3--3---3------3----|
While on the ?G? it?s played much like this:
|----3---3--3---3--3-|
|--------1------1----|
|--------------------|
|--------------------|
|----2---------------|
|-3--3---3--3---3--3-|
It?s easy to pick up when you listen to the song to get the rhythm right.
F C G - C
Right around the corner down by the canyon
F C G
I met a man who lost his way
F C G - C
Said I?m born the son of a sailor
F C G
Who never showed me his face
F C G - C
Daddy?s gone and my momma met her maker
F C G
Oh to hell with that place
F C F C
Quit your talking, your sideways walking
F C G
Time to find another path to take
F C F C
Quit your whining your bloodshot crying
F C G
Fake it like your dying never pace
F-C F-C
Just go home
F C G
Ohhh, you need you some home
F C G
you need you some home
F C G
Her name was Peggy Sue and her Daddy hung the moon
F C G
In her eyes he could no wrong
F C G - C
Then he started drinking like there?s a message in the bottle
F C G
Now Daddy?s painting Peggy black and blue
F C
She closes her eyes
F C
Through the heroes demise
F C G
Holds to a hope beyond the sky
F C
Takes a breath
F C
A weight comes off her chest
F C G
Find a way to weather through the storm
Chorus
C
She cried out
Ooooohhhh
F C G
I love (need) me some home
G
I need me some home
*muted with palm across strings*
F C G
Found myself on a train to California
F C G
25 years of age
F C G (one strum down)
Sat beside me was a lovely rose a wanderer
F C G
Two is always better they say
F C
We made our plans
F C
Gave me her hand
F C G
We ain?t got no time for looking back
F C
I was bruised and beaten

Lost for many reasons
F C G
Only love will make you understand
Chorus

Ooooohhhh I love me some home

Only love will make you understand
