Almost Home

C
He had plastic bags wrapped round 
his shoes
C
He was covered with the evening news
G                 D             
Had a pair of wool socks on his 
G
hands

C
The banks sign was flashing five 
below
C
It was freezin' rain and spittin' 
snow
G                D              
He was curled up behind some garbage
G
 cans

[Pre-chorus]
B                              
I was afraid that he was dead, I 
   C
gave him a gentle shake
B                                 
When he opened up his eyes I said,
  C               D
 old man are you ok, he said

[Chorus]
I just climbed out of the cotton 
C
wood tree
                               G
I was running from some honey bees
                          C
Drip-drying in the summer breeze
                           D
After jumpin' into Calecoe Creek
                          C
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
                             G   
Past a field of hay that had just 
          G/F#
been mowed
Em                    C
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
D                  G
Cause I was almost home

[Verse 2]
C
Then he said, I was just comin' 
round the barn,
C
'Bout the time you grabbed my arm
G                D              G
I heard momma holler, son hurry up

C
I was close enough for my own nose
C
To smell fresh cobbler on the stove
G           D                 G
I saw daddy loadin' up the truck

[Pre-chorus]
B                         
Cane poles on the tailgate, 
   C
bobbler's blowin' in the wind
B                         C      
Since July of 55, that's as close
                 D
 as I've been, yeah

[Chorus]
I just climbed out of the cotton 
C
wood tree
                               G
I was running from some honey bees
                          C
Drip-drying in the summer breeze
                           D
After jumpin' into Calecoe Creek
                          C
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
                             G   
Past a field of hay that had just 
          G/F#
been mowed
Em                    C
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
D                  G
Cause I was almost home

[Bridge]
D
I said old man you're gonna freeze 
to death
       Em
Let me drive you to the mission
        C
He said boy if you'd left me alone
      D          Dsus4  D
Right now I'd be fishin'

[Chorus]
I just climbed out of the cotton 
C
wood tree
                               G
I was running from some honey bees
                          C
Drip-drying in the summer breeze
                           D
After jumpin' into Calecoe Creek
                          C
I was walkin' down an old dirt road
                             G

Em                    C
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
D                  G         G/F#
Cause I was almost home

Em                     C
Man I wish you'd just left me alone
D            G     C    G
I was almost home
