500 Miles Away from Home Chords by Bobby Bare

[Start]

[Intro]
D Am               D               G   
■ I'm five hundred miles away from home


[Verse]
          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                  
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]
                             G                         
I know this is the same road I took the day I left home
Em                             Am 
■  But it sure looks different now
               C                 
Well I guess I look different too
D                              D7
'cause time changes everything ■ 


[Bridge]
G                        
I wonder what they'll say
                                     Em 
When they see their boy looking this way
     Am                  D          G       
Oh I wonder what they'll say when I get home


[Verse]
A A7       D                  
■ ■  Can't remember when I ate
                             Bm  
It's just thumb and walk and wait
        Em                 G               A   
And I'm still five hundred miles away from home


[Chorus]
      D                       
If my luck had been just right
                     Bm     
I'd be with them all tonight
        Em                 A               D   
But I'm still five hundred miles away from home
          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
             Am           D7                  
Ho I'm still five hundred miles away from home
