Say I am up in the world,
but I want to tell [F] you folks [Am] that I'd give the [D] whole world [Gm] to be back, [Gb] way, [E] way back
where I used to [F] be.
You know, [C]
it's a heavenly nest, [F] that's where, [Am] that's where I [D] rest the best.
[B] And it means [E] more than the world [Am] to me.
[C]
[F] It's only a little [A]

[G]
Why the roof, [Dbm] it's so [G] slanty, it nearly touches the ground.
[C]
That tumble down shack [F]
by an old railroad track,
[G] like a millionaire's mansion, [C] it's
calling me back.
[F]
I'd [A] give up a palace, [D] a palace if I were a king.
[G] Why to me it's [Gb] more than a palace folks, [G]
it's my life, it's my everything.
[Bb] And there's a queen [G] waiting there, a queen I tell you, [F] with a [D] silvery crown, [Gm]
[C] in a little
shabby in shabby [Bb] town.
[F] [Gm]
[Am] [F] And I've played with [A] the big stars, [D]
down east and out west, and [G] I've lived, and [Gb]
yes,
lived like the big [G] stars.
And I've mixed, mixed with the best [Bb] now.
But you can turn off [Bbm] those lights, turn them out I tell you, [F] and [A] take my [D] name down, and
you'll be welcome [Gm] in my little shabby, [C] in old [F] shabby town.
Yes sir.
