INTRO: G D G

My friend, come stand beside me
Lately, I’m feeling so lost
A flood came and washed the stones of the path away
And a hot sun turned the mud to dust

Calling the sheep in for the evening
There’s a voice, calls above the howling wind
It says, comes rest beside my little fire
We’ll ride out the storm that’s coming in

INTERLUDE: G C G D G

My friend, you know me and my family
You’ve seen us wandering through these times
You’ve seen us in weakness and in power
You’ve seen us forgetful and unkind

All that I want is one who knows me
A kind hand on my face when I weep
And I’d give back these things I know are meaningless
For a little fire beside me when I sleep

INSTRUMENTAL: G C G D G C G D G

All that I want is one who knows me
A kind hand on my face when I weep
And I’d give back these things I know are meaningless
For a little fire beside me when I sleep

OUTRO: G C G D G (4x)

People steal, they cheat and lie
For wealth and what it will buy
Don’t they know, on judgement day
Gold and silver will melt away

I’d rather be in a deep, dark grave
And know that my poor soul was saved
Than to live in this world in a house of gold
And deny my god and doom my soul

INSTRUMENTAL: D A D A D A D A

What good is gold and silver too
In your heart’s not good and true
Sinner, hear me when I say
Fall down on your knees and pray

I’d rather be in a deep, dark grave
And know that my poor soul was saved
Than to live in this world in a house of gold
And deny my god and doom my soul

Anytime you say it with heart
Anytime you’re falling apart
When you’re washing the sheets
Any stranger you meet
When there’s somebody waving goodbye

CHORUS:
You’re coming home to me, just remember
You’re coming home to me

It’s a world full of bar rooms and alleys
Of blue nights and red river valleys
When you feel like a shirt
And a tie, or like dirt
Or a lion and no one can see

CHORUS:
You’re coming home to me, just remember
You’re coming home to me

When you get to that place
That’s just under the stars
Hanging over the tree
At a quarter to 3

When you get there you’ll know
That’s as far as you go
When you get there you’ll see
You were already free
When you get there you’ll

La la, la la la, la la la
La la la la la la, la la la la
La la la la la la

When you’re lost and you’re found
And you’re found and you’re lost
When you’re dancing with no one around

CHORUS:
You’re coming home to me, just remember
You’re coming home to me
