My Darlin' Hometown
John Prine/Rodger Cook
(ci:Intro:)
[(F)] [(Gm)] [(C)] [(F)]
[(F)] [(Gm)] [(C)] [(F)]
F[F]ar away over the [Gm]sea
There's a [C]river that's calling to[F] me
That river she runs all [Gm]around
The [C]place that I call my [F]hometown
T[F]here's a valley on the side of the[Gm] hill
And [C]flowers on an old [F]windowsill
A familiar old picture it[Gm] seems
And I'll [C]go there tonight in my [F]dreams
Where it's[Bb] green in the summer
And [F]gold in the fall
Her [G]eyes are as blue
As the [C]sky I recall
Far away over the sea
There's a place at the table for me
Where laughter and music abound
Just waiting there in my hometown
The river she freezes
When there's snow on the ground
And the children can slide
To the far side of town
Instrumental
[(F)] [(Gm)] [(C)] [(F)]
[(F)] [(Gm)] [(C)] [(F)]
Far away far away me
Hung up on a sweet memory
I'm lost and I wish I were found
In the arms of my darlin' hometown
With the evening sun sittin'
On the top of the hill
And the mockingbird answering
The old chapel bell
Far away over the sea
My heart is longing to be
And I wish I could lay myself down
In the arms of my darlin' hometown
Ending
[(F)] [(Gm)] [(C)] [(F)]
