Almost Home

     Here's a relatively easy song 
that I enjoy playing.  In case 
you're
wondering where I got it from, it's 
found on the 'Let Her Cry' CD 
single.
I'm pretty sure that most of the 
chords and lyrics are correct.  Any 
help,
improvements or comments 
appreciated.

     (Played with a swing beat)

         C     F     C     F

         C              F         
         Walking on the water, in 
  C           F
a van
Continúa después del anuncio
         C         Em     
         Trying to think of 
  Am   Em      G
everything I can
                  F            G
         But it's getting very late
                   Em              
         And these tapes don't 
     Am
sound no good
                F               
         And my body, just don't 
                G
feel the way I wish it would


         I was driving when I heard 
you call my name
         It was not like before, not
 quite the same
         It's to late to be much 
good
         And I might as well confess
         That I have not got the 
nerve to borrow cigarettes


     Chorus:

         C        Em               
         When I'm almost with you, 
G
music tries to play
         Whem I'm almost home, I 
almost hear you say
         It'll be alright if we 
could run away


         (Here, you can either play 
C  F  C  F, or the following bass 
fill)

         These silent things are all
 my life (???)
         No one ever tells me when 
or why
         Oh but my heart can't seem 
to tell me
         What would satisfy my mind
         So I jump into that van 
just one more time

         Chorus (and Bass fill)

         Solo (C  Em  Am  G  Am  

G  Em  Am  F  G)

         I was driving when I heard 
you call my name
         It was not like before, not
 quite the same
         Oh but my heart can't seem 
to tell me
         What would satisfy my mind
         So I jump into that van 
just one more time

         Chorus (Bass fill played 
twice)
