Almost Home Capo 3 Vince Gill/Guy Clark Am E He was sitting in the corner Am E At a table all a lone F C A candle burnin' in the darkness F E7 His glass of wine was almost gone Am E Something about him felt familiar Am E And it made me stop and stare F C The way he held his hands before him F Esus E Looked like he was lost in prayer Am E Hey son, what are you staring at? Am E and why do your eyes look so sad? F C There's something in the way he sat there F E7 Made me think about my dad F G I'm looking for the answer F G Just like everyone F G I know that there's no ending F Esus E7 To the love between a father and a son Hey son, why don't you pull up one of those empty chairs? Bring it over here by my side Maybe Buy me a glass of wine This looks like a real good place to hide You know I've always been a fisherman Fishin' for souls along the way and You kind of remind me of my only son I lost him 33 years ago today I'm looking for the answer Just like everyone I know that there's no ending To the love between a father and a son There's somethin' I must give you It's a compass that my Father made to point you in the right direction In case you ever lose your way You know I've got somethin' here in my pocket It?s just an old silver cross I think my son would want you to have it When you think all hope is lost We're looking for the answer Just like everyone I know that there's no ending To the love between a father and a son I left him sitting at his table But I didn't feel alone For a moment I could see the light F G Am Oh we were almost home F C For a moment I could see the light F G Am(addD) Oh we were almost home
