Verse:
C
I left my home one day
F7
For the sake of better pay
CG
In a foreign land 12 centurys back in time
C
Where the sun keeps burning down
F7
On the hole drilled in the ground
CGCF7
And I dream of the girl I left behind
Verse:
C
Well I signed on the dotted line
F7
And I thought in a few years time
CGF7
Iʼd be home and we could start a brand new life
C
But everything went wrong
F7
And I just donʼt know how long
CGC
They will make me stay to pay for my crime
Chorus:
F7
And I wish I was
CF7
Rollinʼ home, rollinʼ home
CG
Home to the place I long to be
F7CF7C
Oh, oh, oh, rollinʼ home, rollinʼ home
CGC
Thereʼs someone waiting there for me
Verse:
C
Thereʼs a law that rules this land
F7
That I just didnʼt understand
CGF7
I didnʼt know that I was doing wrong
C
But they donʼt see to care
F7
And they all do it when theyʼre over there
CGC
But here your face is justice of their God
Chorus:
F7
And I wish I was
CF7
Rollinʼ home, rollinʼ home
CG
Home to the place I long to be
F7CF7C
Oh, oh, oh, rollinʼ home, rollin home
CGC
Thereʼs someone waiting there for me
Verse:
C
All the money that Iʼve saved
F7
To pay for better days
CGF7
Just canʼt make up how I miss you so
C
Thereʼs no consolation prize
F7
Oh, but when I close my eyes
CGC
Iʼm dreaminʼ of you in our new home
Chorus.
