[Intro]
C F
[Verse]
F
Ninety today
Dm7
And she still knows her way
C
Back to the spring house
G
And the ash grove near the pond
[Verse]
F
She was just fifteen
Dm7
When she last saw these trees
C
And she felt prim
G
Back in Nineteen Twenty-Nine
[Pre-Chorus]
F
Chestnuts line the lane
Dm
Autumn leaves ablaze
Am G
She's come home
[Chorus]
N.C. G C
Even though the house is gone
Am
Even though it's been so long
F C
Still she's not afraid
G C Em
Even when it's all uphill
Am
Somehow she finds the will
C G C
To meet the sun halfway
[Verse]
F
Running through these fields
Dm7
With her shadow at her heels
C
She gets lost
G
In the way it used to be
[Verse]
F
But it's only in her mind
Dm7
'Cause time has been unkind
C
And now her memories
G
Are all that she can see
[Pre-Chorus]

Chestnuts line the lane
Dm
Autumn leaves ablaze

Home sweet home
