Am
The night-time crept quickly
                             F
And finished the last of the Sun
Am
I closed my eyes and tried hard
                   F
To forget what I'd done
Am
There's darkness sweeps down
                           F
From above and consumes my soul
G                      F               Am
Like night it's so empty and bitterly cold

Am
I'm heavy with burdens
                               F
That shatter my last chance at sleep
Am
I hear them all crying
                   F
See my poor mother weep
Am
A guard on my left
                         F
A gavel slams down on my right
G             F
And iron bars close
                 Am
On a thirty year night

Oh Lord, take me home
F      G            Am
Oh Lord, take me home
F      C            G
Oh Lord, take me home
F      G            Am
Oh Lord, take me home

Am
I scribble a note
                                    F
Say I'm sorry that it happened this way
Am
Exhaling my last breath so free
                    F
Knowing not what to say
Am
The light burns my eyes
                   F
But I see peace so clear
G                       F
My heart bids my soul a farewell
                 Am
Feet kicking the air

[Refrão]

F      C         G
Oh Lord, take me home
F      C         G
Oh Lord, take me home
F      C         G
Oh Lord, take me home
F      C         G
Oh Lord, take me home
