Well, [Am] I've been the wild, [G] wild driver, [A] sailed all [Em] over the sea.
[Am] But this [G] thing that [F] makes me
[Em] wonder [Dm] [C] has made [G] a fool of me.
For [A] they took me from [G] my childhood [A] underneath a [Em] statin spire.
And I [G] hear the [F] wind whistling [E] through the [Dm] wildwood, [C]
whispering [G] goodbye.
[A] And it's home, my [Em] town.
[Am] It's home, my [Dm] town.

[Am] It's home, my [C] town, when [G] you're far across [Am] the pond.

[A] And if you see [G] my mother, [A]
tell her I'm [Em] keeping fine.
Will [Am] you [G] tell her [F] that I [Em] love her, [Dm]
and I'll try [C] to [G] write some time.
[A] And if you [G] see my mother,
[A] give her [Em] all of my love.
For she [G] has a [F] hand of [Em] gold there, [Dm] as [C] good as [G] God above.
[A] And it's home, [Em] my town.
[A] It's home, my [Dm] town.
[Am] It's home, my [F] town, [G] when you're far across [Em] the [Am] pond.

[Am] Will you [G] tell her [F] that I [Em] love her, [Dm] and I'll [C] try to [G] write some time.
