[N] Tonight [A] on this beautiful Memorial [Em] Day evening, I would like to dedicate [G] this next song especially
[A] to the 8.5 million G.I.s who made it home safely [D#m] from World War II, [C] and to their loved ones [D#] who had awaited so very anxiously [A#] for their return.
[E]
There's a storm across the valley,
[A] clouds are rolling in, [B] the afternoon is heavy on your [E] shoulders,
There's a truck out on the four lanes, [A] wild and more afraid, and the [B] whining of his wheels just makes it [E] colder.
He's an hour away from Brighton, and all your [A] prayers are in disguise,
[B] Ten days on the road, [E] barely caught, there's a fire softly burning,
He [A] suffers on the stove, this [B] light in your eyes [F#m] that makes him [E] more hurt.
[A]
Hey, it's good to [B] be back home [E] again,
[A] sometimes [B] so far [E] feels like a long [A] lost friend,
Yes, [B] hey, it's good to be back home [E] again.
There's all the news to tell me, honey [A] how do you spend your time, tell [B] me what's the latest thing the neighbors [E] say.
And your mother called last Friday,
[Bm] [A] sunshine made her cry, and [B] you felt the baby move [F#m] just [E] yesterday.
[A] Hey, it's good to [B] be back home [E]
again,
[A] sometimes [B] so far [E] feels like a long lost [A] friend,
Yes, [B] hey, it's good to be back home [E] again.
I'm
[A] glad [B] I can lay this [E] tired old body [A] down, [F#m]
feel your fingers [B] step aside [E] upon me.
[A] There's a [B] guy left for [E] another lifetime, [A] with [F#m] the happiness [A] living with you [B] brings me.
[E] It's the sweetest thing I know, [A] just spending time with you.
It's [B] the little things that make a [F#m] house [E] a home, like a fire softly burning,
the comfort of a bed, [A] the supper on the stove, and the [B] light in your eyes that keeps [E] me more hurt.
[A] Hey, it's good to [B] be back home [E] again, you know, [A] sometimes [B] this whole far [E] feels like a long lost [A] friend of mine.
[B] Hey, it's good to be back, [F#m] [E]
I said hey, [F#m] it's so good [B] to be back home [A] again.
[A] to the 8.5 million G.I.s who made it home safely [D#m] from World War II, [C] and to their loved ones [D#] who had awaited so very anxiously [A#] for their return.
