Verse:       D                                  G   
        Clay listen close to what your brother says 
           B             A             G 
        My momma stood awaitin' by the door 
              D                           A 
        While daddy he was way off in the woods 
           B             A            G 
        He never saw his boy alive no more 
 
Verse: 

        When Clay and Ottie came to work in Cleveland 

        It was hard to find a job in thirty-two 

        Then Ottie came down sick and Clay was helpless 

        To stop his greatest fear from comin' true 

Chorus:
         A                 D            G             D  A 
        Home is all I have left in this world to hold on to 
            A                  G           D               A  
        But now they've let it go and I've nothin' left to show 
              B            A             G  
        It'll never be the same to me no more 
 
Break:  Verse chords 
 
Verse:  Now livin' on the farm was all we knew 

        And in my mind I see the home place still 

        But they said they'd raher sell and go to rentin' 

        Than leave poor Ottie in some potter's field 
 
Verse:  My daddy never owned another farm 

        And he grew to be an old and bitter man 

        While momma stares off down the gravel road 

        She can still see Ottie stop and wave again 

Chorus:
         A                  D            G             D  A

            A                  G           D               A 
        But now they've let it go and I've nothin' left to show 
        A                  D            G             D  A    
        Home is all I have left in this world to hold on to 
            A                  G           D               A      
        But now they've let it go and I've nothin' left to show 
              B            A             G       
        It'll never be the same to me no more 
              B            A             G 
        It'll never be the same to me no more
