500 Miles Away From Home Chords

[Intro]
| Am | D | G |   |
          Am           D               G
Lord, 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            
She said, "We miss you son, 
                    D
we love you come on home."
        G                    
Well, I didn't have to pack, 
                         Em
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 five hundred miles away from home.
 
[Verse 2]
G                            
I know this is the same road 
           Em
I took the day I left home.
       Am                       
But it sure looks different now 
      D
cause time changes everything.
G                                       
I wonder what they'll say when they see 
                       Em
their boy looking this way.
      Am                  D              G
Oh, I wonder what they'll say when I get home.

[Verse 3]
G                         
Can't remember when I ate 
                             Em
it's just thumb and walk and wait.
        Am                       
And I'm still five hundred miles 
          D
away from D home.
      G                        
If my luck had been just right 
                        Em
I'd be with them all to night.
        Am                 D     
But I'm still five hundred miles 
          G
away from home.
 
[Chorus]
G                               
Away from home, away from home. 
                       Em
Cold and tired and all alone.
         Am           D               G
Yes, I'm five hundred miles away from home.
