nd Fret 



Intro: G   C 

            G                      G       G/F#    Em     C 
Why are the rain clouds coming and pouring down on me? 
                  G                   G        G/F#  Em     C 
And why can't the north wind turn and blow the other way? 
                  G                  G     G/F#   Em      
And where has the sunshine gone? Oh, I can barely see 
              Am      C            Am              G       C 
This northern rain is falling, and home is calling me 


         G               G     G/F#    Em     C 
Sun in a southern sky is all I need to see 
                G                G        G/F#       Em     C 
Just watching a small bird fly, above the fields and me 
          G                      G        G/F#      Em      
Walking a dusty road and there's nothing 'round the bend 
           Am     C        Am          G     
Except for golden tones of going home again

Going home______ 

  

          G              G       G/F#   Em     C 
Muddy old river flowing 'neath a fallen tree 
              G              G        G/F#    Em     C 
And sunflower garden growing twice as tall as me 
           G               G         G/F#      Em    
Sister and father hear me, what I've learned today 
           Am       C          Am             G      
I ain't no northern girl, I've been too long away 



      C     G  D 
Going home______ 
      C     G  D     C 
Going home______ 


                    G              G        G/F#     Em      C 
And on a starry old summer evening, humming warm and sweet 
          G               G     G/F#     Em     C 
I hit the road believing, I was bound to leave 
                  G              G        G/F#   Em    
And it took a New England sky to teach me how to say 
           Am       C          Am             G      
I ain't no northern girl, I've been too long away 
           Am       C          Am             G   G/F# Em 
I ain't no northern girl, I've been too long away 
              Am       C             Am             G     D G 
This ain't no northern song and I've been too long away
