Verse:

B

I left my home one day

E

For the sake of better pay

B F#

In a foreign land 12 centurys back in time

B

Where the sun keeps burning down

E

On the hole drilled in the ground

B F# B E

And I dream of the girl I left behind

Verse:

B

Well I signed on the dotted line

E

And I thought in a few years time

B F# E

I'd be home and we could start a brand new life

B

But everything went wrong

E

And I just don't know how long

B F# B

They will make me stay to pay for my crime

Chorus:

E

And I wish I was

B E

Rollin' home, rollin' home

B F#

Home to the place I long to be

E B E B

Oh, oh, oh, rollin' home, rollin' home

B F# B

There's someone waiting there for me

Verse:

B

There's a law that rules this land

E

That I just didn't understand

B F# E

I didn't know that I was doing wrong

B

But they don't see to care

E

And they all do it when they're over there

B F# B

But here your face is justice of their God

Chorus:

E

And I wish I was

B E

Rollin' home, rollin' home

B F#

Home to the place I long to be

E B E B

Oh, oh, oh, rollin' home, rollin home

B F# B

There's someone waiting there for me

Verse:

B

All the money that I've saved

E

To pay for better days

B F# E

Just can't make up how I miss you so

B

There's no consolation prize

E

Oh, but when I close my eyes

B F# B

I'm dreamin' of you in our new home

Chorus:

E

And I wish I was

B E

Rollin' home, rollin' home

B F#

Home to the place I long to be

E B E B

Oh, oh, oh, rollin' home, rollin' home

B F# B

There's someone waiting there for me

E

And I wish I was

B E

Rollin' home, rollin' home

Home to the place I long to be

E B E B

Oh, oh, oh, rollin' home, rollin' home

B F# B - E

There's someone waiting there for me

Rollin' home there's someone waiting for me

F# B

Rollin' home there's someone waiting for me
