[Verse 1]
G                           C G
Crack of dawn I hit the road, set my shoulders for the heavy load
        C                        G  C G
Coffee leaking through the paper sack
G                                C G
  The foreman says I'm late again,   he can't stand it when I only grin
            C                               G   C  G
He's got me eight hours, she's got me after that
D                                              D
I can't wait 'til it's quittin' time,  she got  something cookin' for me tonight.

[Chorus]
              G   C     D
She keeps the homefires burning
                Am7                 G
While I'm out earning a living in a world
        C                    D
That's known for its pouring rain
              G   C      D
She keeps the homefires burning
             Am7                  D                  G   C G
Ooh and it's her warm loving that keeps me returning again

[Verse 2]
G                       C G
Out of gas, just my luck, four bald tires on my pickup truck
        C                   G   C G
No more credit on my credit card
     G
When I come home and hit that door I remember what these aching arms are for
         C                              G C G
She's my one light when the world goes dark
D                                  D
  Tomorrow it's the same old grind, but she'll be burning in my mind

[Chorus]
              G   C     D
She keeps the homefires burning
                Am7                 G
While I'm out earning a living in a world
        C                    D
That's known for its pouring rain
              G   C      D
She keeps the homefires burning
             Am7                  D                    C  Bm Am G
Ooh and it's her warm loving that keeps me returning again

Ooh and it's her warm loving that keeps me returning again

While I'm out earning a living in a world

              G   C      D
She keeps the homefires burning
                Am7                 G
While I'm out earning a living in a world
        C                    D
That's known for its pouring rain
              G   C      D
She keeps the homefires burning
