[Intro 1]
[G]
[C][G]

[Verse 1]
Overlooking Somerville [G]as
far as I could see
A great stretch of land
and it all belonged to me
The sun was a -rising
and a -chasing off the nights
[C]Leav[G]ing in its wake fields of cotton,
green and white
[C]Oh, [F]this is my [G]home
This is my home
[C]Oh, [F]this is my [Bb]home
This is my [G]home[C][G][Bb]
[G]
[Gm][G]
Then came winter
and I had to go to war
Never once thinkin' it would ever go this
Blue began to fall
and the fields were turning brown
Blue and grey fell everywhere
before she went down
[C]Home, [F]this is my [G]home
[C]This [G]is my hom[C]e[Bb][F]
[Bb]Home, [Gm]home[G][C][G]
[Bb]
[Gm][G][Gm][G]
Now, not over yet, own a property,
I own a general store
I'm still a man with pride
as I was before the war
Men will never see again
the glory that was mine
The memory of Somerville
will stay for all [C]time
Home, [F]this is my [G]home
This is my [C]home
[Bb]Home, [F]this my
[Bb]Home, my home
