CDm
Oh the whippoorwill roosts on the telephone pole
GC
And the Georgia sun goes down
CDm
Well it's been a long time but I'm glad to say I'm
GC
Goin' back down to my home town
CDm
Goin' down to the Greyhound station
GC
Gonna buy me a one way fare
CDm
Good lord willin' and the creek don't rise
GC
By tomorrow I'll be right there
CDm
Don't it make you want to go home now
GC
Don't it make you want to go home
CDm
All God's children get weary when they roam
GC
Don't it make you want to go home
CDm
But there's a six-lane highway down by the creek
GDm
Where I went skinny dippin' as a child
CDm
And a drive-in show where the meadow used to grow
GC
And strawberries used to grow wild
CDm
There's a drag strip down by the riverside
GC
Where my grandma's cow used to graze
CDm
Now the grass don't grow and the river don't flow
GC
Like it did in my childhood days
CDm
Don't it make you want to go home now
GC
Don't it make you want to go home
CDm
All God's children get weary when they roam
GC
Don't it make you want to go home
GC
Don't it make you want to go home
SOLO
DEm
Don't it make you want to go home now
AD
Don't it make you want to go home
DEm
All God's children get weary when they roam
AD
Don't it make you want to go home
AD
Don't it make you want to go home
