Tom: G

G                        D
Packed my suitcase and I racked my brain
Em                   C
Bought a ticket on a late night train
G                       D
Took a taxi through the pourin' rain
C          D       G
I'm comin' home to you

G                       D
Flew from Boston out to San Jose
Em                     C
Saw our old friends in Monterey Bay
G                     D
When they asked me if I'd like to stay
       C          D       G
I said I'm comin' home to you

[Chorus]
G   D
I'm comin' home
G                           C
Made up my mind that's what I'm gonna do
G                        D
Can't love nobody on the telephone
C          D       G
I'm comin' home to you

G                             D
They threw a party there from dusk 'till dawn
Em                         C
Seems like everybody knows old sleepy John
G                          D
He said next time I better bring you along
C          D       G
I'm comin' home to you

G                                   D
They had fresh caught salmon on the barbeques
Em                               C
There were people jammin' to the all night blues
G                   D
Life is good out in Santa Cruz but
C          D       G
I'm comin' home to you

[Chorus]
G   D
I'm comin' home
G                           C
Made up my mind that's what I'm gonna do
G                        D
Can't love nobody on the telephone
C          D       G
I'm comin' home to you

G                      D
I drove forever out to God knows where
Em                        C
Come ten-thirty there was no one there
G                        D
They couldn't pay me but I didn't care
C          D       G
I'm comin' home to you

G                        D
I'm feelin' better since I got your card
Em                               C
I read it over and over when the road gets hard
G                              D
Ain't nothin' better than your own backyard
C          D       G
I'm comin' home to you

[Chorus]
G   D
I'm comin' home
G                           C
Made up my mind that's what I'm gonna do
G                        D
Can't love nobody on the telephone
C          D       G
I'm comin' home to you

G   D
I'm comin' home
G                           C
Made up my mind that's what I'm gonna do
G                        D
Can't love nobody on the telephone
C          D       G
I'm comin' home to you

G                        D
Packed my suitcase and I racked my brain
Em                   C
Bought a ticket on a late night train......
