Standard tuning. Most of it is actually banjo, but I wanted to play it with just a
guitar and was shocked to see that no one had taken the time to figure it out yet.
It's not perfect, but it's close enough.
Intro: Am G Am G Am Am
Am
I have come back to you broken
G
take me home
Am
And my body bears this trouble
G
take me home
G
Take me back to my beginning
G
Before the hell of night set in
G
And I came to this border
Am
take me home
Am
I have toured the endless starlight
G
take me home
Am
I have shattered under midnight
G
take me home
G
There are no vultures in this clearing
G
Except the ones who brought me here
G
And I'll no longer feed them
Am
take me home
F G
Kingdom come, their will was done
Am
And now the earth is far away
C
from any kind of heaven
F G
Hallowed be these frozen fields
Am
And every single one of us
C
still left in want of mercy
Am
Take us home
Am G Am G G G G Am
Am
Now the bells stand still and hollow
G
take me home
Am
And no one has come to mourn me
G
take me home
G
Find me where I close my eyes
G
Beneath this sky of powerlines
G
And let me see us clearly
Am
take me home
F G
Kingdom come, their will was done
Am
And now the earth is far away
C
from any kind of heaven
F G
Hallowed be these frozen fields
Am
And every single one of us
C
still left in want of mercy
Am
Take us home
