Verse 1:
   E
So far from home,
   B
My cry of pain, 
      E               B
Won't ease my longing heart,
  E
I miss you mam,
  B
I miss you dad,
    E        B
I'm falling apart,
         E             B
Now when I look out my window,
          E              B
Through a winter evening rain,
  E                    B
I see the same sky you see at home,
    E                B
Somehow it's not the same,

Chorus:
             E              B
Yeah and I'm longing to get home,
      E                    B 
How I miss all your loving smiles,
    A                 B 
And Oh how the winter bites,
               E
When you're so far away,
       B
For so long,
For far too long,

Verse 2:(chords as verse 1)

Is my girl still there?
Does she visit you?
Is she still as pretty as ever?
Does she ask for me?
'Cos I long for her,
I need her more than ever,
Tell her it won't be long,
Until I'm home to stay,
And I won't ever go again, 
By her side I'll always stay,

Chorus
