[Verse 1]
D                     A          
Staring at a cross of splintered 
D
wood
   Bm                       A
My sins washed away through Christ’s
 own blood
       Bm        D               
All my blessings gone, though my 
G               Bm
mind it wanders on
      D          A    D
Going home in my memory
            G
Between the years and the miles
     D
I am broken and down
         Bm                   A
Bless me father, where do I begin
      Bm           D
On my hands and my knees
     G             Bm
I go crawling back home
   D        A          D
To find absolution within

[Verse 2]
D                       A         
Eighteen years old, but not yet a 
D
man
     Bm              A
With misplaced ideologies
     Bm          G         D
Recognizing only God as my equal
                 A             D
Left home and disgraced my family
With a dream in my head and a 
A        D
restless soul
        Bm              A
Sensing I would soon be free
Continúa después del anuncio
          Bm                 D
I took to heart my granddads fables
                             A    D
They made up the core of my identity
    Bm                 A
For eight long years I tramped 
through the fallout
   Bm           A
Of nuclear society
    Bm   D        G      D       
The underclass forgotten mass in 
  Bm        A    D
a nation of revelry

[Chorus]
D         G        D        A
Fare thee well, my old dear friend
    D              A       Bm
The road goes ever on, but I am 
         G
going home
        D        A     D
Back to where it all began

[Verse 3]
     D              A   D
In a filthy rundown tenement
  Bm                      A
I set out to spread God’s name
              Bm         G         
I thought the word would start the 
D
fire
       G           A       D
And my voice would fan the flame
But I soon learned that in this 
A       D
hopelessness
        Bm                 A
A great many things went unsaid
         Bm              A  
My first lesson was that good 
    D
intentions
                      A        D
Aren’t gonna keep you warm and fed
Bm                        A
With no recourse I took a job at the
 packing house
   Bm                 A
No one who I could edify
      Bm          G         D
As my dreams like leaves in autumn
    G         A       D
Disappeared before my eyes

[Chorus] 2x
D         G        D        A
Fare thee well, my old dear friend
    D              A       Bm
The road goes ever on, but I am 
         G
going home
        D        A     D
Back to where it all began
