C C/B  Am
Almost home
         D               Am
When I missed the bottom stair
          D                 Am
You were braiding your gray hair
       C  Em/B   G
It had grown so long
        C  Em/B   G
Since I'd been gone

        C   C/B  Am
And the perfect girls
        D                 Am
By the pool, they would protest
      D                 Am
The cross around their necks
         C       Em/B   G
But our sons were overseas
            C    Em/B      G     
And we all know about the hive 
         C   C/B Am
and the honeybees

C  C/B  Am
Almost home
         D                 Am
With an olive branch and a dove
          D                  Am
You were beating on a Persian rug
           C             Em/B  
With your bible and your wedding 
   G
band
       C          Em/B  G
Both hidden on the TV stand

         C   C/B   Am
When a cruel wind blew,
       D         Am
Every city father fell
         D        Am
Off the county carousel
           C        Em/B     G
While the dogs were eating snow
         C       Em/B       G    
All our sons had sunk in a trunk 
             C   C/B C/A G
of Noah's clothes

C C/B   Am
Almost home
         D               Am
And got lost on our new street
            D                 Am
While your grieving girls all died 
in their sleep
        C       Em/B    G
So the dogs all went unfed,
          C     Em/B        G
A great dream of bones all piled on 
the bed

         C   C/B      Am
And the cops couldn't care
            D               Am
When that crackhead built a boat
             D            Am
And said, "Please, before I go,
         C    Em/B    G
May our only honored bond
        C      Em/B    G         
Be the kinship of the kids in the
        F9
 riot squad"
