E                          A
This proud wild land where the wind blows free,
    E             C#m
has always been a part of me.
     A              B                 E    B
It's in my blood, I just can't get it out..
    E                 A
For a hundred miles a man can see
    E                      C#m
and be about as wild as he wants to be.
      A                    B                     E     B
If he feels like shouting, all he's gotta do is shout.

[Verse 2]
          E                 A
Where the purple mountains, reach up high
    E                       C#m
and look like they're gonna touch the sky.
          A                   B                   E    B
Where the canyon walls have stood for a million years..
          E                 A
Where the days are hot, the nights are cold,
    E                     C#m
the desert sand, looks just like gold.
      A                      B                    E      B
These trails were carved with sweat and blood and tears..

[Verse 3]
          E                      A
Where the Painted Desert, as you pass by,
      E              C#m
looks like a rainbow in the sky.
    A                    B             E    B
The cactus blooms in the early morning sun..
               E                A
Where the night winds sing, the eagles fly,
    E                     C#m
the clouds paint pictures in the sky.
    A                       B            E
The coyote's howl, tells you when day is done.

[Bridge]
    A                                  E
I'm coming home, this time I'm gonna stay.
    A                                 F#  Bm A G#m B
I'm coming home and I ain't never goin' away..

[Verse 4]
   E                   A
My feet are itching to get back home,
     E                           C#m
I've had the desert fever since I been gone.
   A                B                 E   B
I need some love so bad that I can't see..
       E                 A
When a woman looks a man in the eye,
    E                        C#m
you know it takes a man to satisfy.
    A               B                E
Thinking about them girls is killing me.

[Outro]
(slowly fade out)
    A    E   C#m    E   C#m
I'm goin home, goin home,
     E     C#m      E   C#m
goin home, I'm goin home,
     E   C#m    E  C#m
goin home, goin home,
C#m      E   C#m    E   C#m
I'm goin home, goin home
     E  C#m     E  C#m
Goin home, goin home....
