Now you country fools in your one-horse town, you can laugh at me
G Em7 G Em7It's plain as rain that you've never been down to the southern sea
G Em7 G Em7To see me now is like watching a fish on dry land
I only wish you could see me down in the is- lands
C D GMister, that's my home
F C Am7 C/D G Em7 G Em7What a fool I was to leave the only happiness I've known.
G Em7 G Em7
You see me comin', you wink your eye and call me Captain Jim
And when I don't do nothin' but to walk on by you say,
G Em7"Baby get a load of him."
G Em7 G Em7All I need is the sea and the sky and I know where I stand
instead of you hicks straight out of the sticks deciding I ain't a man
C D GYou'll never understand;
F C Am7 DUp here I'm just a whiskey bum but down there I'm a king
It sounds just like the angels up in heaven when they sing:
D7 G Em7 G Em7 G Em7"Welcome home, welcome home." -- Such a sight to see
F C G/B Am7instead of some Salvation Army sister singin'
"Nearer My God to Thee."
Now I know that the Yankee whiskey is takin' away my mind
G Em7 G Em7and I know that run is the only drink suitable to man-kind
G Em7 G Em7And I know that this tree I'm under is shaped entirely wrong
I need to see a gentle palm tree and I won't wait too long
C D GI can feel that it's comin' on strong
F C Am7 DThe first cold wind of winter is flappin' in my clothes
Showin' me the way with the direction that it blows.
G Em G Em7Welcome home, welcome home, let it blow. [repeat and fade]
