CAPO: 5th fret
 
INTRO:  C  C/B  Fsus4  F   C   C/B   Fsus4   G
 
 
C         C/B          C7sus4
When you look into my eyes
 
        F             Dm7         G
And you see the crazy gypsy in my soul
 
C         C/B           C7sus4
It always comes as a surprise
 
       F                Dm7            G
When I feel my withered roots begin to grow.
 
 
       Em7         Em7                F       F/E  Dm7
Well I never had a place that I could call my very own
 
    F                  G                      C   C/B   Fsus4   G
But that's alright, my love, 'cause you're my home.
 
 
C        C/B            C7sus4
When you touch my weary head
 
        F            Dm7             G
And you tell me everything will be alright
 
          C      C/B           C7sus4
You say, "Use my body for your bed.
 
       F                  Dm7                 G
And my love will keep you warm throughout the night."
 
 
       Em7        Em7               F     F/E Dm7
Well I never be a stranger and I'll never be  alone
 
    F            G                 C      C  C/B
Wherever we're together, that's my home.
 
 
Am              G            C         C  C/B
Home can be the Pennsylvania Turnpike,
 
 
 
Am        G             F
Indiana's early morning dew, oh!
 
Am             G            C       C  C/B
High up in the hills of California,
 
Am            G               F
Home is just another word for you.
 
 
 

 
 
       Em7         Em7                F       F/E  Dm7
Well I never had a place that I could call my very own.
 
    F                  G                      C   C/B   Fsus4   G
But that's alright, my love, 'cause you're my home.
 
 
C        C/B           C7sus4
And if I travel all my life
 
      F            Dm7             G
And I never get to stop and settle down
 
C         C/B            C7sus4
Long as I have you by my side, oh
 
        F                 Dm7              G
There's room for love and good wars(?) all around.
 
 
          Em7               Em7           F       F/E      Dm7
You're my castle, you're my cabin, and my instant pleasure dome.
 
  F              G                       C   C/B   Fsus4   G
I need you in my house, 'cause you're my home.
 
          C  C/B  Fsus4  G  C  C/B  Fsus4  G  C  C/B  Fsus4  G
You're my ho - me.
