Sadness And I Wander Home

G D G The bar room crowd know me as the loner C D G That hard drinking bar fly in the corner E A7 Each night here by myself I do the town C D G Hope and closing’ time never comes round G D G I dread the dreams that always steal around me. C D G So I’m thankful for the noisy crowd around me E A7 At closing time, I stagger out alone C D G Then sadness and I wander home. E A7 We take the lonely backstreet that leads up to my room D G Where a dismal corner light is looking down E A7 I used to know such freedom in the country where I live D Till I became a prisoner of your town. G D G One day I'll shake these blues and stop my grievin’ C D G Yeah, pack up my few things and I’ll be leaving E A7 And back to god’s own country I will roam C D G Where gladness will welcome me home. E* A* D* G* E* A** D* G D G Oh, I played guitar and loved my country music. C D G Was buildin’ up a name why did I lose it. E A7 But I couldn’t take the fortune that fame brings. C D G Oh, too many parties and too many friends. G D G So shake hands with a loser Mr barman. C D G And I’d say your heart is cold as a snowman, E A7 Oh, but I’ll take whiskey friend and I’ll warm my own, C D G Then sadness and I will wander home. E A7 We take the lonely backstreet that leads up to my room D G Where a dismal corner light is looking down E A7 I used to know such freedom in the country where I live D Till I became a prisoner of your town. G D G One day I'll shake these blues and stop my grievin’ C D G Yeah, pack up my few things and I’ll be leaving E A7 And back to god’s own country I will roam C D G E Where gladness will welcome me home, sweet home. C D G G Gladness will welcome me home.
