Back Home Again [A] 
John Denver

Intro:
[A]

Verse 1:
There’s a [A] storm across the [A7] valley, [D] clouds are rollin’ in 
The [E7] afternoon is heavy on your [A] shoulders.
There’s a [A] truck out on the [A7] four lane, a [D] mile or more away 
The [E7] whinin’ of his wheels just makes it [A] colder.

He’s an [A] hour away from [A7] ridin’ on your [D] prayers up in the sky 
And [E7] ten days on the road are barely [A] gone.
There’s a [A] fire softly [A7] burning; [D] supper’s on the stove
But it’s the [E7] light in your eyes that makes him [A] warm. [A7]

|Chorus:
|[D] Hey, it’s good to [E7] be back home a[A]gain [A7]
|[D] Sometimes [E7] this old farm feels [A] like a long lost [D] friend 
|Yes, ‘n’, [E7] hey it’s good to be back home [A] again

Verse 2:
After [A] all the news to [A7] tell him, [D] how you spent your time;
and [E7] what’s the latest thing the neighbors [A] say;
and your [A] mother called last [A7] friday; [D] “sunshine” made her cry; 
and you [E7] felt the baby move just yester [A] day.

Chorus:

Bridge:
And [D] oh, the time that [E7] I can lay this tired [A] old body [D] down 
And feel your fingers [E7] feather soft up[A]on me [A7] ;
The [D] kisses that I [E7] live for; the [A] love that lights my way [D] 
The [Bm] happiness that [D] livin’ with you [E7] brings me.

Verse 3:
It’s the [A] sweetest thing I [E7] know of, just [D] spending time with you 
It’s the [E7] little things that make a house a [A] home.
Like a [A] fire softly [A7] burning and [D] supper on the stove.
And the [E7] light in your eyes that makes me [A] warm.

|Chorus:
|[D] Hey, it’s good to [E7] be back home a[A]gain [A7]
|[D] Sometimes [E7] this old farm feels [A] like a long lost [D] friend 
|Yes, ‘n’, [E7] hey it’s good to be back home [A] again

Outro:
Yes, ‘n, [E7] hey it’s good to be back home aga[A]in
