Verse 1:
E
So far from home,
B
My cry of pain,
E B
Won't ease my longing heart,
E
I miss you mam,
B
I miss you dad,
E B
I'm falling apart,
E B
Now when I look out my window,
E B
Through a winter evening rain,
E B
I see the same sky you see at home,
E B
Somehow it's not the same,
Chorus:
E B
Yeah and I'm longing to get home,
E B
How I miss all your loving smiles,
A B
And Oh how the winter bites,
E
When you're so far away,
B
For so long,
For far too long,
Fill 1:(actually played on a flagolet)

Verse 2:(chords as verse 1)
Is my girl still there?
Does she visit you?
Is she still as pretty as ever?
Does she ask for me?
'Cos I long for her,
I need her more than ever,
Tell her it won't be long,
Until I'm home to stay,
And I won't ever go again,
By her side I'll always stay,
Chorus
