Home Again Rivers
D Em
You took it in your stride to run away and hide
F#m Bm G D A
Thru all the pain of battle and the breaking of your pride.
D Em
Sweet Billy James's been asking where you've gone.
F#m Bm G D A
It's been so many years now since you've taken off the gun.
D Em
Well, the grass is getting dry and it seems your name they're calling;
F#m Bm G D A
The rain, it hasn't fallen, only tears shed from our eyes.
D Em
They say there isn't rain in the hills of West Virginia,
F#m Bm G D A
But dying isn't in ya but the rhinestone bears your name.
D Em
You're the father of your child but your mind just seems to wander,
F#m Bm G D A
Let no man hold you under while your heart is running wild.
D Em
And I've searched so many towns and I've roamed so many places,
F#m Bm G D A
I've seen so many faces but I've never known your own.
Well, there's gonna be a day when your drinking wine is through now,
And the people close to you now will have you here to stay.

Home again rivers, home again rivers,
D A E7 A
Come home again rivers, Billy’s come home.
