500 Miles Away From Home
Bobby Bare


intro
       (Am)         (D)             (G)
Oh I'm five hundred miles away from home

verse 1
           (G)
Teardrops fell on mama's note,
                           (Em)  	  
when I read the things she wrote
             (Am)                (C)             (D)
She said "We miss you son, we love you, come on home"
       (G)                                           (Em)
Well I didn't have to pack, I had it all right on my back
        (Am)          (D)            (G)
Now I'm five hundred miles away from home

Chorus:
           (G)
Away from home, away from home
                        (Em)
Cold and tired and all alone
                (Am)          (D)            (G)
Yes I'm (still) five hundred miles away from home


verse 2
(same chord progression as first verse)

(Spoken) I know this is the same road I took
The day I left home
But it sure looks different now
I guess I look different too
'Cause time changes everything
I wonder what they'll say,
When they see their boy lookin' this way
(Sung) Oh, I wonder what they'll say when I get home

A7…  (Change to key of (D))

         (D)                                           (Bm)
Can't remember when I ate, it's just thumb and walk and wait
        (Em)                (G)            (A7)
And I'm still five hundred miles away from home
       (D)                                           (Bm)
If my luck had been just right, I'd be with them all tonight
         (Em)              (A7)            (D)
But I'm still five hundred miles away from home

D7…    

Repeat chorus (In Key of (G))

        (Am)               (D)              (G)
Oh, I'm still five hundred miles away from home
