Verse:
A    D    A
A                 D       A
I'm goin' back to my home town
      D         G               A     D
Gonna sit right down and take a look around
A                       D        A
Tall trees talking all along the shore
          D              G            A      D
Where the wood meets the river at the forest floor
    Bm          F#        G       D
The grass hangs heavy all full of rain
    B        F#                         E
The wise dog wanders through the coming grain
           A
Now does a true heart change
           D        A
Or does it stay the same
           D     G            A       D
Think I'll go on back to from where I came, yeah

Chorus:
A    D    A
E                              Bm
The sound of the siren and the winds that blow
E                          Bm
They hold no candle to the things I know
       D          A       G       D
Oh I'm goin' back down to my home town 
      B
Gonna break some ground
       D
Take a look around

Cuz I'm goin' back to my home town
Some love stays leaving some will stick around
Tall trees talking can ya hear the sound
Of the mad man sitting at the river's mouth
Some dance for joy, some sing for rain
Say it'll only take a women to drive a man insane
I've seen the workers and I've seen the bums
And they all shine equal in the setting sun, yeah

I'm goin' back to my home town
Gonna sit right down and take a look around
The fields lay fallow can ya hear the sound
Better call on the spirit cuz I'm weathered down
The grass hangs heavy its full of rain
The wise dog wanders through the coming grain
Now does a true heart change or does it stay the same
Think I'll go on back to from where I came, yeah

Chorus
