Gone Home

1 4 1
All of my friends that I loved yesterday
5 1
Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have gone home)
4 1
The songbirds that sing in the dell seem to say
5 1
Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have gone home)

1 4 1
They’ve joined the heavenly fold
5
They’re walking the streets of pure gold
1 4
They left one by one as their work here was done
5 1
Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have gone home)

Life here is lonely since they’ve gone before
Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have gone home)
The old weeping willow that stands by the door
Sadly says (they have gone home) gone home (they have gone home)

The trumpet will sound on that Great Judgment day
Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have gone home)
We’ll see all our friends that have gone on that way
Gone home (they have gone home) gone home (they have gone home)
