500 Miles Away from Home Chords by Bobby Bare

_ _ [Am] I'm 500 _ [D] _
miles away [G] from home _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Teardrops fell on Mama's note
_ When I read the thing [Em] she wrote
She [Am] said, we miss you [C] son, we love you
Come [D] on home _ _
_ Well [G] I didn't have to pack
I had it all
_ _ [Em] _
_ Now [Am] I'm 500 _ _ [D] _
miles away [G] from home _ _ _
_ Away from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all [Em]
alone
Yes [Am] I'm 500 _ [D] _
miles away [G] from home _ _
_ _ I _ _ _ know this is the same road I took the day I left home
[Em]
But it sure looks different [Am] now
Well I guess I look [C] different too
[D] As time changes everything _
_ [E] _ [G] I wonder what they'll say
When they see their boy looking this way
_ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ Oh I [Am] wonder what [D] they'll say when [G] I get home
_ _ [A] _
_ Can't [D] remember when I ate
It's just a common walking [Bm]
way
And [Em] I'm still 500 _ [G]
miles away [A] from home _
But if [D] my luck had been just right
I'd be with them all [Bm]
tonight
But [Em] I'm still 500 _ [A]
miles away [D] from home _ _
Away [G] from home, away from home
Cold and tired and all [Em]
alone
Yes [A] I'm still 500 [D]
miles away [G] from home _ _
_ Oh [Am] I'm still 500 [D] miles
