[Verse 1]
[E][A][D][E][A][D]
[A]It[D][A]
[D]must have been an ill wind
that [G]blowed me away,
[D]Far from the old folks at hom[A]e.[D]
[A]I a[D]in't met with nothin' but tear[G]s
since the [D]day [C#]I le[A]ft the old[D]
folks at [A]home.[F#m]
[E]Ab sent [Em]sure has made my
heart grow [D]fonder[Ebdim][A]
of the [D]dear ones I live all [A]alone.
All my [Em]thoughts go [A]wandering back
to [D]an ivy -colored shack.
She's a [A]lonesome
for the old [D]folks at home.
Seems [Em]I miss her, how d 'ye do,
[A]of the [D]dear old friends I knew,
and the sweet tenderness [A]of [B]one caress
[D]I'm missing too.
[A]There's a little candlelight
in the window every [D]night
that is burning just for me,
and a [B]heart that I can fill
with a happy little thrill when I [E]whisper,
Here [A]I'll here's a [Em]little mother's [A]prayer,
[D]will be answered when I'm there.
[B]Where I should have sta[D]yed,
all the years I strayed
from [A]the old folks at [D]home.[A][D]
[A]I hea[D]r that gentle voice,
there's a [G]-call[D]in' to me.
Come to the old [A]folks at [D]home.[A][D]
[A]Soak [D]me off to Dixie
and [G]just let me [D]be [C#]there
[A]with the [D]old folks at [C#]home.
[F#m]I'll t[D]ake back a[Em] little present for th[D]em,[Ebdim]
[A]just a p[D]romise never more to [A]roam.
All my [Em]thoughts go [A]wandering back
to an [D]ivy -colored jack.
She's a [A]lonesome
for the old folks at [D]home.
Seems [Em]a mister howdy -do
[A]of the [D]dear old friends I knew,
And the sweet tenderness
[A]of [B]ones I rest [D]are [E]missing too.
[A]There's a l[D]ittle candlelig[A]ht in
the window every [D]night
that is burning just for me.
And a [Em]heart that I can [B]fill
with a happy little thrill when I [E]whisper,
here I [A]be.
Say the [Em]little mother's prayer
[A]will be [D]answered when I'm [B]there.
Where I should have [D]stayed
all the years I strayed
from [A]the old folks at [D]home.
