Intro - D G B A G
        D A B A G

Verse:       D                                  G  
        Clay listen close to what your brother says
           B             A             G
        My momma stood awaitin' by the door
              D                           A
        While daddy he was way off in the woods
           B             A            G
        He never saw his boy alive no more

Verse:
        When Clay and Ottie came to work in Cleveland
        It was hard to find a job in thirty-two
        Then Ottie came down sick and Clay was helpless
        To stop his greatest fear from comin' true

Chorus:  A                 D            G             D  A
        Home is all I have left in this world to hold on to
            A                  G           D               A 
        But now they've let it go and I've nothin' left to show
              B            A             G 
        It'll never be the same to me no more

Break:  Verse chords

Verse:  Now livin' on the farm was all we knew
        And in my mind I see the home place still
        But they said they'd raher sell and go to rentin'
        Than leave poor Ottie in some potter's field

Verse:  My daddy never owned another farm
        And he grew to be an old and bitter man
        While momma stares off down the gravel road
        She can still see Ottie stop and wave again

Chorus: A                  D            G             D  A
        Home is all I have left in this world to hold on to
            A                  G           D               A
        But now they've let it go and I've nothin' left to show
        A                  D            G             D  A   
        Home is all I have left in this world to hold on to
            A                  G           D               A     
        But now they've let it go and I've nothin' left to show
              B            A             G      
        It'll never be the same to me no more
              B            A             G
        It'll never be the same to me no more

End with G
