[Verse 1]
D A D
Staring at a cross of splintered wood
Bm A
My sins washed away through Christ’s own blood
Bm D G Bm
All my blessings gone, though my mind it wanders on
D A D
Going home in my memory
G
Between the years and the miles
D
I am broken and down
Bm A
Bless me father, where do I begin
Bm D
On my hands and my knees
G Bm
I go crawling back home
D A D
To find absolution within
[Solo 1]

[Verse 2]
D A D
Eighteen years old, but not yet a man
Bm A
With misplaced ideologies
Bm G D
Recognizing only God as my equal
A D
Left home and disgraced my family
A D
With a dream in my head and a restless soul
Bm A
Sensing I would soon be free
Bm D
I took to heart my granddads fables
A D
They made up the core of my identity
Bm A
For eight long years I tramped through the fallout
Bm A
Of nuclear society
Bm D G D Bm A D
The underclass forgotten mass in a nation of revelry
[Chorus]
D G D A
Fare thee well, my old dear friend
D A Bm G
The road goes ever on, but I am going home
D A D
Back to where it all began

[Verse 3]
D A D
In a filthy rundown tenement
Bm A
I set out to spread God’s name
Bm G D
I thought the word would start the fire
G A D
And my voice would fan the flame
A D
But I soon learned that in this hopelessness
Bm A
A great many things went unsaid
Bm A D
My first lesson was that good intentions
A D
Aren’t gonna keep you warm and fed
Bm A
With no recourse I took a job at the packing house
Bm A
No one who I could edify
Bm G D
As my dreams like leaves in autumn
G A D
Disappeared before my eyes
[Chorus] 2x
D G D A
Fare thee well, my old dear friend
D A Bm G
The road goes ever on, but I am going home
D A D
Back to where it all began
[Solo] (first part goes something like this. Guitar is to distorted to figure out the whole thing)
