He’s Coming Home Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Well[D],[A][D][G][Gsus2]
[G]it took us by sur[Gsus2]prise
when he came home
[Asus4]and told us he'd just joined the army.[Bm]
Mama [Gsus2]cried and left the roo[D]m
like mamas do
[Asus4]and simply said,
You should have [Bm]warned me
Daddy [Gsus2]threw his arms
around his [G]neck
Said don't [Asus4]mind her, you know
She only [Bm]loves you
Then shook [G]his hand and said
My friend, I [Asus4]think you'll make
One hell of a [Bm]sol dier
Thing[C]s remained the same
until [G]the day he had to leave

[Verse 2]
As we [C]waved goodbye,
mama said to [G]me
[Asus4]He's

[Verse 3]
[D]coming home
and out front of that bus depot

[Verse 4]
We all watched his [G]arm

[Verse 5]
reach out the window
[C]Giving us the [G]peace sign, go [D]-ho
[G]God, we hate

[Verse 6]
[D]to watch him go
No [Em]mat ter how

[Verse 7]
[G]far apart we are,
we know [C]he's [D]coming [Em]home.[D][A]
[D]A m[G]other's premonition,
there ain't [A]nothing like [Asus4]it.
We all watched in [Bm]an ger.
As the [G]newsman forced a smile
and warned the coun[Asus4]try we all love
It's now in [Bm]danger
Mama's [G]baby went from boot
camp drills
To stand[Asus4]ing in a field holding a rifle[Bm]
His mind [Gsus2]shifts from ar[G]my grants
To finish school [Asus4]and be someone
To mere surviv[Bm]al
With each [C]letter that he sent
before we [G]read it
We all [C]prayed that it would be
the one [G]to tell us
[Asus4]He's coming home[D]
Mama read each and every one
As we passed [G]around the latest picture
Of him [C]giving us the [G]peace sign
[D]No, ain't been the same
since he's been gone
But no matter how [G]far apart we are,
we [C]know he's [D]coming home
As the [Bm]war dust slowly disappeared,
[Asus4]we all sa[D]id in fear and feared th[G]e worst
[A]Till the mo[Bm]ment that the phone rang
And he asked if he could [D]talk to Mama
[Em]First, he's coming [D]home
Please tell me he's coming home
Words can't de[G]scribe
what I was feeling
When Mama [C]shot us on the [G]peace sign
[D]Tears flow when she hung up the phone
Hit [G]her knees and thanked the
Lord [C]above
My boy's coming [D]home[Em][D]
[A]He's [D]com[G]ing home
He's coming home.
