Capo 2nd fret

(C) It's been many a (G)mile that I've (Am)roamed,
And (F)now I (Dm7)think I'm coming (G)home,
If that (Am)train, she run far,
I'll be (D)back with the morning (G)star,
(Dm7) Back to the (G)place where (G/A)I (G/B)was (C)born, (C/B)(Am)
(F)Back to the (G)place where I was (C)born.

I know love doesn't (G)mean a man be(Am)longs,
But I (F)always knew my (Dm7)rights from my (G)wrongs,
I (Am)thought you loved me best,
And I (D)guess you know the (G)rest,
And (Dm7)all the (G)reasons (G/A)why (G/B)I'm (C)gone, (C/B)(Am)
And (F)all the (G)reasons why I'm (C)gone.

But I ain't a-(G)saying you are to (Am)blame,
I'll for(F)get you (Dm7)on that evening (G)train,
My (Am)love for you was true,
I was (D)born with a boot of (G)blue,
And I'll (Dm7)ride them rails (G)back from (G/A)where (G/B)I (C)came, (C/B)(Am)
I'll (F)ride them rails (G)back from where I (C)came.

So I kept traveling (G)on from place to (Am)place,
And I (F)know I'm still (Dm7)looking for your (G)face,
I once (Am)knew where I was bound,
But a (D)true love I never (G)found,
And I (Dm7)guess my life has (G)only (G/A)been (G/B)a (C)waste, (C/B)(Am)
I (F)guess my life has (G)only been a (C)waste.

So it's been many a (G)mile that I've (Am)roamed,
And (F)now I (Dm7)think I'm a-coming (G)home,
If that (Am)train, she run right,
I'll be (D)back before the (G)light,
(Dm7) Back to the (G)place where (G/A)I (G/B)was (C)born, (C/B)(Am)
(F)Back to the (G)place where I was (C)born.
