(In the intro between the Am and The C there is some picking out, I couldnt figure out
single note that he was playing but I thought this would get you started anyway.)

CAPO 4th fret

Intro:

/ = slide down
\ = slide up
   D             Am       C

Verse1:
G         Am                     C
          F
I used to have a home, a place I started from, a place to call my own
    G                                  Am
The bright lights and late nights, the devil took me out on a midnight ride
C                               G
Left me out in the desert on my own


Pre-Chorus:
    Am         D               Am                      D
And now I feel alone, I need a hand to help me find my way back home


Chorus:
      G
I'm a drifter out on a dead-end road
Am
Trying to find my way back home
   C                 G           F
To get to you, oh to get to you
     G
Lord I've gone for far too long
Am
Headed to places I don't belong
    C                            G
And I've got to get back home to you


Verse2:
G                 Am                           C
Sometimes I think about the past the road that I was on
              G            F
the road that led me home
     G                   Am
I'll walk on another day I may wonder, but I'll never stray
C                                  G
I found out the hard way sin don't pay   (Pre-Chorus)
                                           (Chorus)

Bridge:
Em            D                 C       G
   And when I feel the night is closing in
Em           D                 C    G D
   And I can barely breath the air
Em        D                  C       G
   I just remember that I've got a friend
    Am                   C           D
Who really cares, oh who really cares     (Chorus2x)

Oh take me home (just keep playing the chorus during the lead break)
