Verse:       D5                                  G5   
        Clay listen close to what your brother says 
           B5             A5             G5 
        My momma stood awaitin' by the door 
              D5                           A5 
        While daddy he was way off in the woods 
           B5             A5            G5 
        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:
         A5                 D5            G5             D5  A5 
        Home is all I have left in this world to hold on to 
            A5                  G5           D5               A5  
        But now they've let it go and I've nothin' left to show 
              B5            A5             G5  
        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:
         A5                  D5            G5             D5  A5 
        Home is all I have left in this world to hold on to 
            A5                  G5           D5               A5 
        But now they've let it go and I've nothin' left to show 
        A5                  D5            G5             D5  A5    
        Home is all I have left in this world to hold on to 
            A5                  G5           D5               A5      
        But now they've let it go and I've nothin' left to show 
              B5            A5             G5       
        It'll never be the same to me no more 
              B5            A5             G5 
        It'll never be the same to me no more
