    …. F - C    - F - C   - F - C     - Dm - C - F - G

 

    Am                             Dm                      Am

1.     I'm counting on a memory to get me out of here,

Am                             Dm                                      Am

     I'm waiting for the fog around this spooky little town to clear.

                G                                           E       Am

    All this time I spent being someone else's friend,

                           Bb                          F                                    Em     Am

    just one more time, for old time's sake I'd like to go back home again.

 

    Am                                    Dm                   Am

2.       The world had seven wonders once upon a time,

Am                               Dm                               Am

    it's sure enough the favored nations aided their decline.

                    G                                                E             Am

    And all around me I've seen times like it was back when,

                           Bb                                                       E

    but like back then, I'd say amen if I could get back home again.

 

               F             C                      F            C

If I could go back home, if I could go back home,

         Am                                     G

if I'd never left, I'd never have known.

               F           C                 F         C       Dm   - E

We all dream of leaving, but wind up in the end,

               Am                             F           Em       Am

spending all our time trying to get back home again.

    Am                                      Dm                          Am

3.      Could have been a jailbreak and a spotlight hitting me,

Am                            Dm                                  Am

    or was I just some nightclub singer, back in 1963.

               G                                          E           Am

    In the old part of Valencia, on the coast of Spain,

              Bb                                                              E

    never tiring once of hearing songs about going home again.

 

+  CHORUS

 

+  A - Dm - G - C      - A - Dm - G - G7 - G - G7

 

               F             C                      F            C

If I could go back home, if I could go back home,

         Am                                     G

if I'd never left, I'd never have known.

               F           C                 F         C       Dm   - E

We all dream of leaving, but wind up in the end,

               Am                             F           Em       Am

spending all our time trying to get back home again.
