Jonny's Come Home chords by Jonathan Edwards
Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
I never (G major) knew just who I was,
much less where I came from
I guess that's just the way it is
when you're adopted young
(C major) Why (E minor) is it (G major) that I love to sing
glued (E minor) to (A minor) my gui (E minor) tar?
(D major) While (E minor) all the while
I (C major) felt this ache eat (A minor) ing at my heart
(D major) That (E minor) emptiness it (G major) grew and
grew with (C major) every passing day
(B minor) Until (E minor) I (G major) couldn't stand the pain
I (A minor) had to find a (G major) way
I (E minor) searched (D major) and searched (G major) across this earth,
I (C major) didn't have (B minor) a choice
But (E minor) all that hurt (G major) just disappeared
when (C major) I heard (A minor) my mother's (D major) voice
It's (C major) funny how the winding (B minor) road
(A minor) meanders through the (B minor) years
It's (C major) hard to know (E minor) just where to turn
when the (A minor) map is (G major) soaked with (D major) tears
Just when (C major) I thought I'd (B minor) always be
(A minor) a man without a past
(E minor) (F major) Johnny's come home,
(D major) little (E minor) Johnny's (G major) come home (C major)
Johnny's (F major) come home (D major) at last (G major)
(E minor) (G major) (C major) (E minor) (G major) (C major)
Brenda, (E minor) she was (G major) barely born
when we (C major) had to give her (G major) up
We (E minor) were only (G major) kids (E minor) ourselves
and (A minor) times were really (D major) tough
Fate, (E minor) it has a (G major) crazy way
of repeating (C major) history
(B minor) I (E minor) nev er thought I'd (C major) have to do
what (A minor) once was (G major) done to (D major) me
There's nothing (E minor) that can make (G major) you feel
(C major) more unwanted in (G major) the world
Than to (E minor) nev er know (D major) your (G major) mother
(D major) or to (A minor) know your (D major) little girl
What (E minor) color were (D major) her (E minor) eye s, her (G major) hair,
(C major) was she short or was she tall? (B minor)
(E minor) All those thoughts (C major) were laid to rest
the (A minor) day my daugh (D major) ter called
It's (C major) funny how the (G major) winding road
me (A minor) anders through (G major) the years
It's hard (C major) to know (E minor) just where to turn
when the (A minor) map is so unclear
(D major) Just (C major) when I thought I'd (G major) always
be a (A minor) man without a (E minor) past
Johnny's (F major) coming home
(D major) Little Johnny's coming home (C major)
Johnny's (F major) coming (D major) home at
(G major) last (E minor) (G major) (C major) (D major) (G major) (C major)
you
