Subject: TAB: Don't It Make You Want to Go Home by Joe South (CRD file)
Another fine Joe South song circa 1969.
Don't It Make You Want to Go Home
(Joe South)
G Am D G
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / [2X] (see note)
(chorus first):
G Am
Don't it make you want to go home now
D G
Don't it make you want to go home
Am
All God's children get weary when they roam
D G
Don't it make you want to go home
D G
Don't it make you want to go home
(verse 1):
G Am
Oh the whippoorwill roosts on the telephone pole
D G
as the Georgia sun goes down
Am
Well it's been a long time but I'm glad to say that I'm
D G
goin' back down to my home town
Am
Goin' down to the Greyhound station
D G
Gonna buy me a one way fare
Am
Good lord willin' and the creeks don't rise
D G
By tomorrow I'll be right there
(chorus)
(verse 2):
But there's a six-lane highway down by the creek
Where I went skinny dippin' as a child
And a drive-in show where the meadow used to grow
And the strawberries used to grow wild
There's a drag strip down by the riverside
Where my grandma's cow used to graze
Now the grass don't grow and the river don't flow
Like it did in my childhood days
(chorus - lead off last line with "Tell me")
(chorus, up 1 step, and drop 5th line):
A Bm
Don't it make you want to go home now
E A
Don't it make you want to go home
Bm
All God's children get weary when they roam and
E A
God how I want to go home
(repeat 4-line chorus, fading)
