Chords for Headin' Home (Johnny Drake)

[A] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _
Many years have gone by since I left my [A] fortune bay home _ _ _
Full of dreams and ambition as a young man I wanted [D] to roam
But _ _ now things are different I'm older and [G] wiser I guess _ _ _
[A] And I'd love to return to that homeland that I [D] love to miss _ _ _
My friends and relations I miss them more [A] every day _ _ _
And in dreams I go back to my childhood down in old [D] fortune bay
I _ _ see a picture of Orange Grove and it brings a tear [G] to my eye _ _ _
[A] For I know she stands guard o'er the birthplace of this [D] new-fie boy
And _ [G] I believe it should pause head down that [D] Bader's Fair road _ _ _
There's a lump in my throat, son, cause I know that I'm [A] heading home
And _ _
[D] when I reach St.
Jack's I know everything [G] is alright _ _ _ _
[A] I got two miles to go and I'll be in [D] Balloram tonight
That _ _
[A] _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _
old fisherman's lodge is now a modern [A] day home
The _ _ roads they are paved and them old fishin' [D] schooners are gone
That _ _ old church looks the same as it did when I sang [G] in the choir _ _ _
[A] The orange lodge's hit his music till the lounge on the [D] government wharf _ _ _
The Dory's made way for the faster and modern [A] speedboats _ _ _
As you walk around town you'll not see a sheep, cow [D] or goat _ _ _ _
The schemers don't call here, they are a thing of [G] the past
_ _ Now [A] it's home, don't visit, my things are changing [D] so fast
My _ _ memories may fail me but I feel like a king when [G] I say
_ I'm _ [A] a proud Newfoundlander from Balloram down in old [D] Fortune Bay
And _ _ [G] I believe it should pause head down that Bader's [D] Fair road _ _ _
There's a lump in my throat son, cause I know that I'm heading [A] home
And _ [D] when I reach St.
Jack's I know everything is [G] alright
I _ _ [A] got two miles to go and I'll be in Balloram [D] tonight
Just _ _ [A]
two miles to go and I'll be in Balloram [D] tonight _ _ _ _ _
