Intro: F F G F F G
F F F
Crack of dawn I hit the road, set my shoulders for the heavy load
F F F F
Coffee leaking through the paper sack
F F F
The foreman says I'm late again, he can't stand it when I only grin
F F F F
He's got me eight hours, she's got me after that
G
I can't wait 'til it's quittin' time
G
She got something cookin' for me tonight.
Chorus
F F G
She keeps the homefires burning
Dm7 F
While I'm out earning a living in a world
F G
That's known for its pouring rain
F F G
She keeps the homefires burning
Dm7 G F F F
Ooh and it's her warm loving that keeps me returning again
F F G F
F F F
Out of gas, just my luck, four bald tires on my pickup truck
F F F F
No more credit on my credit card
F
When I come home and hit that door I remember what these aching arms are
for
F F F F
She's my one light when the world goes dark
G
Tomorrow it's the same old grind
But she'll be burning in my mind
chorus
Instrumental- F F G F F F G
Chorus-only last two lines
chorus-all of it and fade out
