Never Come Home

F#m                          A
Maybe time has wrought some changes
F#m               A
Maybe I remember wrong
F#m                          
It stands to reason I've grown 
   A
softer
F#m                   A
I was married for so long
D                        Bm
I took a chill late last April
D                         Bm
Lost thirty pounds by mid July
D                            
Not that the old place was the 
  Bm
answer
F#m                               A
Just one last thing that I could try
F#m                         A
I had scarcely laid my bag down
F#m                          A
When my misjudgement hit me square
F#m                        
I was welcomed like a guilty 
   A
prisoner
F#m            A
Old grievances fouled the air


[Chorus]
F#m                      A
Four hundred miles mean nothing
F#m                        A
One mans troubles are his own
F#m                       A
The land is run down and ragged
F#m                       A
I should have never come home


[Verse 2]
F#m                             
There's a couple of babies in the 
   A
cradle
F#m                       A
Sister's gone east for a time
F#m                            
Mama's boiling water by the wood 
   A
stove

F#m                               
Neighbours stealing glances 
       A
through the blind
D                             
Now she's looking at me through 
        Bm
their eyes
D                                  
And I see the thought she hides in 
Bm
vain
D                    
All my years among the 
                      Bm
silken-tongued, the fallen
F#m                          A
Have made this cancer in my brain
F#m                          
Cheap coal's spilling from the 
   A
hilltops
F#m                               
The earth is shaking from them old
       A
 drag lines
F#m                           
But when these little towns lie 
   A
sleeping
F#m                               
It's like it must have been before
  A
 mankind
D                         Bm
Watch the wild mid summer moonlight
D                        Bm
Drifting slow across the lawn
D                      Bm
Catch the outlines the creation
F#m               A
As morning comes on

[Interlude]
F#m  A    F#m   A

F#m                               
Now there's cousins dropping in 
    A
from Briersville
F#m                           
With self regard these baptists 
          A
farely shine
F#m                   A
Mama gives them high admiration
F#m                              A
Contempt is the best that I can find


[Chorus]
D                       Bm
Four hundred miles mean nothing
D                         Bm
One mans troubles are his own
D                           Bm
Sick and torn from wife and children
F#m                       A
I should have never come home


[Verse 3]
F#m                        A
I hear them whispering my name
F#m                       A
Late at night beneath my room
F#m                          
Their voices rise as they grow 
   A
drunker
F#m                             A
Black vultures gathering at my tomb
D                           
Humbled by the ancient jewish 
  Bm
prophets
D                              Bm
Dazzled by the distant network theme
D                      Bm
Born by the promise of tomorrow
F#m               A
Bury me with all speed
F#m                         A
Now I was born in New York City
F#m                   A
Down here I'm near a slave
F#m                            A
Can't hardly take in one more body
F#m                   A
Can't afford another grave


[Chorus]
D                       Bm
Four hundred miles mean nothing
D                         Bm
One mans troubles are his own
D                         Bm
This land is run down and ragged
F#m                       A
I should have never come home
