Theres No Place Like Home

Tom: D

     D            G               D
I've got a little wife, she's the joy of my life,
        A             D
There's no place like home.
     D            G            D
I've got a little house that I call my own,
        A             D
There's no place like home.
  G                         D
I come home at night from a hard day's work,
     A                            D
meet six or seven kids with their faces full of dirt,
         G                      D
And they all go to sleep on the bosom of your shirt,
        A             D
There's no place like home.


[Chorus]
D     G           D
Home, sweet sweet home,
        A             D
There's no place like home.


[Verse 2]
         D   G             D
When the relatives come to visit you,
        A             D
There's no place like home.
        D           G          D
They'll bring their trunks and stick like glue,
        A             D
There's no place like home.
        G                      D
They'll take all the very best beds you've got,
      A                     D
and you can sleep out in an old, cold cot,
       G                     D
With a brother-in-law who's about half shot,
        A             D
There's no place like home.


[Verse 3]
         D          G          D
When the baby cries out in the middle of the night,
        A             D
There's no place like home.
       D          G           D
You'll search for medicine without any light,
        A             D
There's no place like home.
    G                      D
You jump out the bed on an upturned tack,
    A                          D
and fly down the stairs on the middle of your back,
         G                    D
and your wife hollers out "Oh hurry up, Jack",
        A             D
There's no place like home.

[Chorus]
D     G           D
Home, sweet sweet home,
        A             D
There's no place like home.

[Outro]
          G                       D
With your wife's cold feet in the middle of your back,
        A             D
There's no place like home.
