Tuning: Standard EBGDAE Difficulty: Novice 500 Miles Away From Home D7 C G I'm five hundred miles away from home G Teardrops fell on mama's note, Em when I read the things she wrote D7 C D7 She said "We miss you son, we love you, come on home" G Em Well I didn't have to pack, I had it all right on my back D7 C 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 D7 C G Yes I'm five hundred miles away from home (Spoken) I know this is the same coat I took when I left home But it sure looks different now And I guess I look different too But time changes everything I wonder what they'll say, When they see their boy lookin' this way (Sung) Oh, I wonder what they'll say when I get home (Change to key of D - D,A7,G,Bm) Can't remember when I ate, it's just thumb and walk and wait And I'm still five hundred miles away from home If my love had been just right, I'd be with them all tonight But I'm still five hundred miles away from home Repeat chorus (In Key of G) Oh, I'm still five hundred miles away from home
