Pattern 1:
Em/ (022000@1)/ / 2 / / / 3 / / / 4
I'm afraid to go home, I'm afraid to go home
              Am (x02210@1)                      EmWorries (022000@1)on my mind, afraid of what I'll find
Will my family be gone? I'm afraid to go home
              Am (x02210@1)                     EmBack (022000@1)to Tennessee, afraid of what I'll see

Pattern 2:
D7 (xx0212@1)   G (320003@1)                              Em (022000@1) As I walk down this dusty road, got a heart with a heavy load
          Am (x02210@1)                   D7 (xx0212@1)      GAin't (320003@1)one thing that's the same,   so much sorrow and pain
D7 (xx0212@1)      G (320003@1)                          Em (022000@1) Headin' home in a single file, every inch is a quarter mile
            Am (x02210@1)         D7 (xx0212@1)         GAin't (320003@1)heard nobody sing,   ain't seen one livin' thing

(in pattern 1):
Someone's waitin' for me, honey sweet as candy
Wanna hold her tight; Lord, make her be all right
Maybe 'round on next bend, all the ashes of land
Valleys will be green instead of what I've seen

(in pattern 2):
I'm afraid for the scrubby pine, for the sweet honeysuckle vine
I'm afraid for my home, for the fields that I roamed
Kick along down a homeward road, and your heart's gotta take the load
I'm afraid to go home, I'm afraid to go home

EmSherman's (022000@1)been in my town, burned it all to the ground
                  Am (x02210@1)                        EmNow (022000@1)there's not a tree 'tween Memphis and the Sea
                  Am (x02210@1) (decelerate...)        EmNow (022000@1)there's not a tree 'tween Memphis and the Sea
