(E) I went to the old home --- Where I (A)  once used to (E) roam
And all of my friends --- had (F#) ev'ryone (B7) gone
How (E) sad and how drear --- No (A) voice did I (E) hear
There was no one --- To (B7) welcome me (E) home.

(E) No one --- to welcome me home;
Oh! No, no one --- To (F#) welcome me (B7) home
How (E) sad and how drear --- No (A) voice could I (E) hear
There was no one --- To (B7) welcome me (E) home.

I went to the old school --- Where I once loved to play
And all of my playmates had every one gone
So lonesome and drear --- No voice did I hear
There was no one --- to welcome me home.

No one - to welcome me home
There was one --- to welcome me home
But, when I behold --- That Mansion of Gold
There'll be Someone --- to welcome me home.
