Verse 1:

E

So far from home,

B

My cry of pain,

E B

Won't ease my longing heart,

E

I miss you mam,

B

I miss you dad,

E B

I'm falling apart,

E B

Now when I look out my window,

E B

Through a winter evening rain,

E B

I see the same sky you see at home,

E B

Somehow it's not the same,

Chorus:

E B

Yeah and I'm longing to get home,

E B

How I miss all your loving smiles,

A B

And Oh how the winter bites,

E

When you're so far away,

B

For so long,

For far too long,

Fill 1:(actually played on a flagolet)

Verse 2:(chords as verse 1)

Is my girl still there?

Does she visit you?

Is she still as pretty as ever?

Does she ask for me?

'Cos I long for her,

I need her more than ever,

Tell her it won't be long,

Until I'm home to stay,

And I won't ever go again,

By her side I'll always stay,

Chorus
