I'M AFRAID TO GO HOME
written by Gary Geld and Peter Udell

performed by Brian Hyland

tab transcribed by Collins Crapo <roxtar@srv.net>

Pattern 1:
Em / / / 2 / / / 3 / / / 4
I'm afraid to go home, I'm afraid to go home
Am Em
Worries on my mind, afraid of what I'll find

Will my family be gone? I'm afraid to go home
Am Em
Back to Tennessee, afraid of what I'll see

Pattern 2:
D7 G Em
As I walk down this dusty road, got a heart with a heavy load
Am D7 G
Ain't one thing that's the same, so much sorrow and pain
D7 G Em
Headin' home in a single file, every inch is a quarter mile
Am D7 G
Ain't heard nobody sing, ain't seen one livin' thing

(in pattern 1):

Someone's waitin' for me, honey sweet as candy

Wanna hold her tight; Lord, make her be all right

Maybe 'round on next bend, all the ashes of land

Valleys will be green instead of what I've seen

(in pattern 2):

I'm afraid for the scrubby pine, for the sweet honeysuckle vine

I'm afraid for my home, for the fields that I roamed

Kick along down a homeward road, and your heart's gotta take the load

I'm afraid to go home, I'm afraid to go home
Em
Sherman's been in my town, burned it all to the ground
Am Em
Now there's not a tree 'tween Memphis and the Sea
