E F#m A E E E B7 B7
Travelling at night the headlights were bright & we’d been up many an hour
E F#m A E E B7 E
All through my brain came the refrain of home and its sweet warming fire

Chorus:
E E A E
And home sings me of sweet things
E E B7 B7
My life there has its own wings
E E A E
Fly over the mountains
G A B7 B7
Though I’m standing still

E F# A E E E B7 B7
The people I’ve seen come in between the cities of tiring light
E F#m A E E B7 E
And the trains come & go but inside you know the struggle will soon be a fight

Chorus:

E F#m A E E E B7 B7
Travelin’ at night the headlights were bright & soon the sun came thru the trees
E F#m A E E B7 E
Around the next bend the flowers will send the sweet smell of home in the breeze

E E A E
And home sings me of sweet things
E E B7 B7
My life there has its own wings
E E A E
Fly over the mountains
G A B7 B7
Though I’m standing still X 2 (then last line)
G A E
Though I’m standing still
