Playing Notes
E|-------------| 

I watched a live performance of this
 where the guitarist (might have 
been Chris Marra - my memory is hazy
 now)
played a nice ascending diminished 
riff in the chorus at the end of the
 first line - I have included the
chord shapes for this at the end of 
the song and you can choose to 
include this to spice things up.

The Dm7 chord is slid up from a 5th 
fret barre to a 10th fret barre (at 
the end of the chorus) on the second
bar. I would suggest playing this by
 pulling off the second and third 
fingers and sliding the barre finger
up to the tenth fret then hammering 
on for the minor seventh shape.

[Intro]

[Verse]
Fmaj7                        
  Through the heat haze to the 
                 Bbmaj7
rolling hills,   goes a weary little
 smiling man
Fmaj7                          
  Looking at the world through a 
                 Bbmaj7
goldfish bowl,   with a suitcase in 
his hand
               Gm7                 
And he's been, selling diamonds to 
    C7                   Fmaj7    
the destitute, he's been saving 
                F#dim
all his money all alone

Gm7                    C7    
Lying in winter in his birthday 
                   Fmaj7        
suit, and he be-lieves that it's 
               F#dim
time to go home

[Chorus]
              Gm7                  
Benny's going home (returna casa mi
   C7                  Fmaj7

Gm7     Am7          Bb       
Goodbye Benny take a seat and

rest your wea-ry   bones

[Verse]
           Fmaj7               
Now he can sit down easy with a 
glass of wine, no need to worry 
Bbmaj7
about the time of day
Fmaj7                             
  Driven ladies will come floating
              Bbmaj7
 by and he'll pushing up his glasses
 before they float away
Gm7                    C7        
White buildings in the afternoon,
            Fmaj7                  
 no need to hide him from the eyes 
       F#dim
of the crowd
Gm7                   C7         
Evening bells will be ringing 
            Fmaj7                  
soon, and I be-lieve they're gonna 
       F#dim
ring them loud

[Chorus]
              Gm7                  
Benny's going home (returna casa mi
   C7                  Fmaj7      
 a-migo) Benny's going home 
             D#dim

Gm7     Am7          Bb       
Goodbye Benny take a seat and

rest your wea-ry   bones

People get thinking 'bout times 
               Bbmaj7
gone by they get wondering about way
 back when
Fmaj7                             
They let their lives roll down 
                 Bbmaj7
easy street and the blessing in 
disguise at the end
Gm7                        C7
No need to worry about the rain

'bout the cold

 now, no need to worry 'bout 
  F#dim
growing old
