Bill Morrissey ? It?s Time To Go Home
Capo 4

Well she [C] looked so small
She [G] looked so frail
It was [F]  like the world forgot her
As [G] she stood outside the jail

They [C]  sit and stare
They[G]  rarely speak
She [F] comes to see him
The [G] same time every week

Never [C]  wants to leave
But she [G]  knows she must
That the [F] yellow cab comes right on time
And [G] scoops her up like a speck of dust

When [F] its time to go [G]  home
Its [F] time  to go [G] home
[F] Where the night  stayed [G] too long
[C] In a world that?s [Cm]  just gone [G]wrong
It?s[F]  time [G] to go [C]  home

How [C] did one summer
Become [G]  19 years
The Alaskan [F] winters took their toll
And [G] then they made it clear

The [C] gill nets and the singers
[G] Salmon and crab
The dull [F] eyed girls of catchican 
That [G] took all that I had

I could[C] sell the boat
Cash the [G] whole thing down
Move [F] back to the forty eight
Just tell [G] stories back in that small town

[F] its time  to go [G]  home
Its [F]  time  to go [G] home
[F] Where the night  stayed [G] too long
[C] In a world that?s [Cm]  just gone [G]wrong
It?s[F]  time [G] to go [C]  home

(Instrumental)

Well [C] your T-shirt?s clean
Like your [G] dungarees
IN [F] eighteen days 
You [G] will be on your way overseas

Sit [C] on the bed
With a [G] warm six pack
Ah it?s [F] not like they said
But it?s[G]  too late now to take it back

So you [C] make some calls
But [G]  no one?s home
You [F] nurse your beers
And you [G] spend the long night by the telephone

[F] its time  to go [G]  home
Its [F]  time  to go [G] home
[F] Where the night  stayed [G] too long
[C] In a world that?s [C]  just gone [G]wrong
It?s[F]  time [G] to go [C]  home
