E A
This proud wild land where the wind blows free
E C#m
Has always been a part of me
A B E B
It's in my blood, I just can't get it out
E A
For a hundred miles a man can see
E C#m
And be about as wild as he wants to be
A B E B
If he feels like shouting all he's gotta do is shout
E A
Where the purple mountains reach up high
E C#m
And look like they're gonna touch the sky
A B E B
Where the canyon walls have stood for a million years
E A
Where the days are hot, the nights are cold
E C#m
The desert sand looks just like gold
A B E B
These trails were carved in sweat and blood and tears
E A
Where the painted desert as you pass by
E C#m
Looks like a rainbow in the sky
A B E B
The cactus blooms in the early morning sun
E A
Where the nightwings sing and eagles fly
E C#m
The clouds paint pictures in the sky
A B E
The coyotes howl tells you when the day is done
A E
I'm coming home, this time I'm gonna stay
A F#m B A F#m B
I'm coming home and I ain't never goin' away
E A
My feet are itching to get back home
E C#m
I've had the desert fever since I've been gone
A B E B
I need some loving so bad that I can't see
E A
When a woman looks a man in the eye
E C#m
You know it takes a man to satisfy
A B E B
Thinking about them girls is killing me
E C#m E C#m
I'm going home, going home
E C#m E C#m
Going home, I'm going home
E C#m E C#m
Going home, going home
E C#m E C#m
I'm going home, going home
E C#m E C#m
Going home, going home
