A HEART NEEDS A HOME
Richard Thompson
Transcribed by phillip@phoenix.princeton.edu
(Capo 3rd fret to play with "Hokey Pokey" recording)
The Em-->G-->C transition between the second line and third line of the verses is more like a bass run.
The G chord is only voiced on the lower strings.
I know the way that I feel about you
I'm never gonna run away
I'm never gonna run away
Never knew the way when I lived without you
I'm never gonna run away
I'm never gonna run away
I came to you when no one could hear me
I'm sick and weary of being alone
Empty streets and hungry faces
The world's no place when you're on your own
A heart needs a home
Some people say that I should forget you
I'm never gonna be a fool
I'm never gonna be a fool
A better life, they say, if I'd never met you
I'm never gonna be a fool
I'm never gonna be a fool
Tongues talk fire and eyes cry rivers
Indian givers, hearts of stone
Paper ships and painted faces
The world's no place when you're on your own
A heart needs a home
