Tom: G
G C D Em C G
There's a house somewhere I know where the fires burn all night long
G C D Em
There's a swing outside on the porch where I feel I could
D C
Rock away the dusk til the dawn
Am G
And even though the wind may be howlin'
Am C D
Stars are bright and they push me on and on
Chorus:
C G D Em
There's a half moon rising in southeastern skies
C G D G
There's a cold wind blowin' across the great divide
C G D Em
And the stars they guide my way across the night
C G D G D
There's a half moon rising, pushin me on to another mountain top
D G D
Push me on, no I'll never stop, push me on home
C G D G C D Em
There's a half moon rising in southeastern skies tonight
Verse 2 (same chords as Verse 1):
Now the shoes on my feet, those soles broken down
And my coat is tattered and worn
And the hunger in my belly, and the fever in my head
Will vanish 'ere my first glimpse of home
And even though the rain may now be fallin'
The passion is deep and pushes me on
(Chorus)
there's a still at dawn like the sound of your love's breath
As she lies sleeping
Down below me now in the valley
Is the only piece on earth that I ever want to know
And her lips are as soft as I remember
She alone has brought me back on home
(Chorus)
