I do this song, I like to watch documentaries a lot.
There's a great documentary called The [B] Nashville Sound that was filmed in [G] 1969.
[E] That's hippies from New York who [Fm] went down to [N] Nashville and filmed fanfare and radio seminar and all this stuff.
Well, Dolly Parton walks out on stage at the Opry and [Eb] Porter's band's backing her up.
And they don't know the song at [Bb] all, you can tell.
They're just like [Eb] going, we're just food, you know, the whole time.
And she [Gm] [G] stands up there proud and sings this song.
I've come from the shanty town, I've been mistreated.
To a [C] brand new [G] place, so far from my home.
Now [D] I'm home with a bell [G] of gold.
I loved him dearly, but [C] I kissed her [G] so barely.
[C]
[G] When I left him, [D] my blue lips [G] fell.
I was just a little backstage homegirl.
When I [C] came to [G] New Orleans, oh I'd never been beyond.
My [D] home still I'm home.
Oh the [G] men I meet, they ain't home friendly.
Like the [C] wind [G] over [C] Jenny, [G] no they ain't real.
Like [D] my blue queen, she's [G] my home.
I was
[C] young in my hometown,
[G] Now I'm 18 [F] now, and I'm so [G] tired.
[C]
So I'm home, with a steady life.
Slow [G] miles down, and a long night.
They say the lonely black stop to roam.
But let [C] me [G] get [C] over [G] this, sweet love.
[D] Of my blue wings [G] now.
[C] Blue wings now.
[G] Oh.
Yo!
