I think the Original chords are C , G7 , C , F , C but I prefer G , D7 , G , C , G

            G                          D7

                           G
Back to my home, I dare not go

         C                   G
For if I do, my mother would say,

(verse spoken-no chords)
"Have you ever seen a bear combing his hair?"

D7          G
Down by the bay.
