  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)
