D                A   Em                         G

In the quiet misty morning, when the moon has gone to bed,

            D                  A              Em                G
When the sparrows stop their singing and the sky is clear and red

           D                   A
When the summer's ceased it's gleaming

         Em                 G
And the corn is past it's prime

         D                    A
When adventure's lost it's meaning

           Em               D
I'll be homeward bound in time



         D             A
Bind me not to the pasture

          Em           G
Chain me not to the plow

         D                A
Set me free to find my calling
  
          Em               G
And I'll return to you somehow
  
        D                     A
If you find it's me you're missing
 
             Em           G
If you're hoping I'll return

           D                      A 
To your thoughts I'll soon be list'ning

             Em                  G 
And in the road I'll stop and turn

           D                 A
Then the wind will set me racing

         Em                G 
As my journey nears it's end

         D                A 
And the path I'll be retracing

            Em             G   
When I'm homeward bound again

         D            A        
Bind me not to the pasture

          Em           G  
Chain me not to the plow

         D               A 
Set me free to find my calling

          Em                G
And I'll return to you somehow


         D            A
In the quiet misty morning

           Em               G
When the moon has gone to bed

            D                   A
When the sparrows stop their singing

            Em*            D* 
I'll be homeward bound again
