INTRO: Em

        F              D#    Em
Another time I'm going home  
          F   D#     A    Em
Down this road on my own  
          F                  D#   Em
I see the trees and feel the sun  
            F   D#               A           
Is this the time my travelling's done?


CHORUS:
    D                    G
But Daddy, it's been too long
                D               A
Since I've been grown and gone along  
           D                     G
How're you doing, and how've you been?  
          D                    A      Em
It'll be awhile 'til I'm here again


          F                      D#    Em
I see the house and the old wood shed  
             F    D#     A    Em
I wonder how many friends are dead  
                 F                  D#     Em
Have you seen my boy, is he growing tall?  
          F  D#             A           
How's his ma, is she pretty still?


CHORUS:
    D                    G
But Daddy, it's been too long
                D               A
Since I've been grown and gone along  
           D                     G
How're you doing, and how've you been?  
          D                    A      Em
It'll be awhile 'til I'm here again


                    F                         D#    Em
The years have been good, I could be drinking less  
           F     D#               A    Em
Out on the coast, I've found it's best
                     F                   D#    Em
There's been lots of singing and lots of pain  
        F    D#            A           
But you know, I'd live it again


CHORUS:
    D                    G
But Daddy, it's been too long
                D               A
Since I've been grown and gone along  
           D                     G
How're you doing, and how've you been?  
          D                    A      Em
It'll be awhile 'til I'm here again


            F                       D#     Em
Some things haven't changed way out there
                F      D#           A     Em
I still have my shotgun and my long hair
                      F                  D#       Em
And the mountains and me are the best of friends
                        F    D#               A           
I'm still looking for a woman who really understands


CHORUS:
    D                    G
But Daddy, it's been too long
                D               A
Since I've been grown and gone along  
           D                     G
How're you doing, and how've you been?  
          D                    A   
It'll be awhile 'til I'm here again
