[Verse 1]
A Bm E
All of my life
D
I've used the earth as a pillow
E A
And the sky as a blanket of blue.
A Bm E
Now all that I own
D
Is the shirt on my back
E A
And the blanket and the saddle on you.
[Chorus]
A E D E A
So mare take me home, mare take me home,
A E D E A
Mare take me home, mare take me home.
[Verse 2]
A Bm E
And I spent some time in jail,
D
But then my face turned pale
E A
And my health was starting to fail.
A Bm E
So the sheriff he let me go,
D
And then the town's people caught me
E A
And they run me out of town on a rail.
[Chorus]
A E D E A
So mare take me home, mare take me home,
A E D E A
Mare take me home, mare take me home.
[Verse 3]
A Bm E
Mare carry me,
D
Take me right down
E A
To the place where I wanna be.
A Bm E
Cause home's where I should go
D
And I never wanna travel
E A
That god-forsaken trail no more.
[Chorus]
A E D E A
So mare take me home, mare take me home,
A E D E A
Mare take me home, mare take me home.
