Intro - D G B A G
[D] [A] [B] [A] [G]
Verse: D G
Clay listen close to what your brother says
My [B]momma stood aw[A]aitin' by the [G]door
While [D]daddy he was way off in the [A]woods
He [B]never saw his [A]boy alive no [G]more
Verse:
When Clay and Ottie came to work in Cleveland
It was hard to find a job in thirty-two
Then Ottie came down sick and Clay was helpless
To stop his greatest fear from comin' true
Chorus: A D G D A
Home is all I have left in this world to hold on to
But [A]now they've let it [G]go and I've [D]nothin' left to [A]show
It'll [B]never be the [A]same to me no [G]more
Break: Verse chords
Verse: Now livin' on the farm was all we knew
And in my mind I see the home place still
But they said they'd raher sell and go to rentin'
Than leave poor Ottie in some potter's field
Verse: My daddy never owned another farm
And he grew to be an old and bitter man
While momma stares off down the gravel road
She can still see Ottie stop and wave again
Chorus: A D G D A
Home is all I have left in this world to hold on to
But [A]now they've let it [G]go and I've [D]nothin' left to [A]show
[A]Home is all I have [D]left in this [G]world to hold [D]on [A]to
But [A]now they've let it [G]go and I've [D]nothin' left to [A]show
It'll [B]never be the [A]same to me no [G]more
It'll [B]never be the [A]same to me no [G]more
End with G
