The Wrong Direction Home

A  D  A E A

[Verse 1]
A                                 
In a shingle-covered cottage at 
  D
the foothills of the Smokeys
       A                     
Near a mountain stream that's 
 E              A
flowing crystal clear
Where hummingbirds and honeybees 
D
feed on Mama's roses
   A                  E           
My memories just grow sweeter with
     A
 the years

[Verse 2]
A                             
Memories of my childhood are as 
  D
sweet as mountain honey
       A               E          
And as fresh as dew on morning 
   A
glory vines
                            D
I grew up surrounded by the sights 
and sounds of nature
    A               E             
And they're forever present in my 
A
mind

[Chorus]
        D             E   
But I'm headed in the wrong 
            A
direction home
E                             A
Headed in the wrong direction home
        D  E          A
There's no place like home
        E                  
But I'm headed in the wrong 
           A
direction home

[Verse 3]
A                                 
Teardrops mingled with the summer 
D
rain that was a-falling
    A             E           
The day I left my mountain home 
    A
behind
With a suitcase in my hand and a 
D
hope in my heart
      A           E              
I was following a dream I had to 
A
find

[Verse 4]
A                                 
In that shingled-covered cottage 
      D
at the foothills of the Smokeys
        A               E         
Waits a family that I'm longing so
  A
 to see
A
And mountain streams and fields of 
green
    D
And rolling hills stay in my dreams
    A              E        
But I'm many, many miles from 
        A
Tennessee

[Chorus]
          D             E   
And still headed in the wrong 
            A
direction home
E                             A
Headed in the wrong direction home
    D              E               
But maybe I'll get back before too 
A
long
        E                  
But I'm headed in the wrong 
           D  A
