@SONG: * I'M GOIN' HOME

(tabbed by randell@heinous.music.uiowa.edu,

Intro:  |E   |G#m  |F#m   |E    |   x3 (Band in 2nd time)			



E       G#m                      

  Mama please don't go 

          F#m      E

Won't you stay for one more day

I've been your boy for so long now

There's so much I, I still have to say

The sky ripped open and I held my heart in my hand 

Like a soldier on his very last day

Cried myself to sleep that night

And I listened as I heard the angels sing, Sha la la



      E        B             D               A

	Sha la la la, sha la la la, I'm goin home

	Sha la la la, la la la la, I'm goin home	



Something inside of me makes me scream

How could God take you from a little boy?

He'll be all right he's by my side

He's not a little boy, he's my pride and joy, Sha la la la 



	Sha la la la, sha la la la, I'm goin home

	Sha la la la, la la la la, I'm goin home	



Solo: (Same chords as half a verse)



Summer on the radio                        }

When the phone rang, and it was Jeannette  }- Without guitars

Saying, "Boy, we got to let her go"        }

I beg, "No, no not yet"                    }

You left six of us to fend for ourselves

Guess it's just part of someone's master plan

We'll see you left cause your my best friend

You were lighter then and I smiled when the angels sang sha la la la



	Chorus: (Repeat to fade)



Chords: E-022100  G#m-466444  F#m-244222  B-x24442  D-x00232



NB: Although I think the chord formations shown above are those used on the 

recording, if you are playing this by yourself you can make the chorus 

sound really big by using B-799800  D-x50770.  :-)

Now play bars 1-4 of the intro riff. This is followed by:

  + + + +   + + + +   + + + +   + + + +

|--------9|h11------|---------|---------|

|---------|---------|---------|---------|

and then bars 5-8 of the intro riff.



Just play chords for the chorus. The link to v2 is just the intro riff. v2

is the same as the first half of v1.
