I Wanna Go Home

      D
I was born a refugee
And I don't know if I'll ever see
            A
The old farmhouse I've heard about
                    D
But it's where I belong, there is no doubt
                G
'Cause my whole family is from that farm
             D
And we never did nobody harm
                  A
And if you're confused by what you've heard
               G
Let me boil it down to a single word
           D        A
I wanna go home...
           G
I wanna go home


           D
And I have heard my grandpa say
That on the street most every day
               A
The neighbors' kids would kick a ball
        D
With my dad when he was small
        G
We were Christians, they were Jews
                  D
But it was no big deal, religious views
          A
So it was strange when at the point of a gun
           G
Across the river we had to run
           D        A
I wanna go home...
           G
I wanna go home


D
We had dabkeh, we had songs
And we all knew where we belonged
        A
We grew crops, life was good
             D
There in the land where Jesus stood
          G
Now we're scattered everywhere
               D
But there's no peace anywhere
         A
I'm just searching for some kind of sign
             G
For some way back to Palestine
           D        A
I wanna go home...
           G      D
I wanna go home
