IF I COULD JUST GO HOME
As recorded by Ed Bruce
(From the 1968 Album IF I COULD JUST GO HOME)
Capo 2nd fret
[Chorus]
G A D G A D G
Oh Lord, if I could just go home I'd do things different from now on
A D G
There wouldn't be near the gray in my old daddy's hair
D A D
Oh Lord, if I could just go home
[Verse]
G A D
I know it wasn't daddy's fault that mama died when I was just a kid
G A D
And the best that he could do to raise me right was all he ever did
G A D
And I know he'd love mama a lot longer than I had and he was every bit as
G D
alone
A D
But I don't guess I'd helped too much to build a happy home
G A D
He made sure I got to church every Sunday the way mama had always done
G A D
And he was always sorry he had to work so hard and we didn't have too much
G
time for fun
A D
He knew I missed mama a lot
G D
And maybe he was easier on me than he should have been
A7 D
But it ain't his fault that I didn't turn out to be much of a man
G A D
Well, I've grew on into my teens and I guess I thought I was a real hard
stuff
G A7 D
Goin' into town hangin' around bars and actin' pretty tough
G A D
Well, I'm looking out at a different set of bars now
G D
And that little window don't let in much light
A7 D
You see I got roarin' drinkin' mad one night and I killed the man in a fight
G A
I got a letter from back home the other day
D
Saying dad had a stroke and he ain't doin' too good
G A D
Well, if I had done right I'd be there now to help him and God you know I
would
G A D G
And I'd pay him back for all the years of love that he gave me
D A D
And I'd be a better man the way I was taught to be
N.C. D
Oh Lord, if I could just go home
