I M AFRAID TO GO HOME
written by Gary Geld and Peter Udell
performed by Brian Hyland
tab transcribed by Collins Crapo
Pattern 1:
Em / / / 2 / / / 3 / / / 4
I m afraid to go home, I m afraid to go home
Worries on my mind, afraid of what I ll find
Will my family be gone? I m afraid to go home
Back to Tennessee, afraid of what I ll see
Pattern 2:
As I walk down this dusty road, got a heart with a heavy load
Ain t one thing that s the same, so much sorrow and pain
Headin home in a single file, every inch is a quarter mile
Ain t heard nobody sing, ain t seen one livin thing
(in pattern 1):
Someone s waitin for me, honey sweet as candy
Wanna hold her tight; Lord, make her be all right
Maybe round on next bend, all the ashes of land
Valleys will be green instead of what I ve seen
(in pattern 2):
I m afraid for the scrubby pine, for the sweet honeysuckle vine
I m afraid for my home, for the fields that I roamed
Kick along down a homeward road, and your heart s gotta take the load
I m afraid to go home, I m afraid to go home
Sherman s been in my town, burned it all to the ground
Now there s not a tree tween Memphis and the Sea
(decelerate...)
Now there s not a tree tween Memphis and the Sea
