I Have Got To Get Back
D A D
I have got to get back home
G D
Away from this city life
A D
And this damned old tele- phone
A D
Fast life is a strain on me and my wife
A D
I get off the Inter- state
G D
And drive the black tops and the blue highways
A D
Looking for old land marks in my state
A D
Longing to get back to the good old days
A D
There is Narita Hill,
G D
Where my grand dad was born
A D
Two miles further down the gravel road
A D
My dads home place, now well worn
G D
I walk the hilly fields,
A
Looking for flint and arrowheads
D G
Hoping my search will yield
D A D
The thrills I knew as a kid
A D
Yes, I have to get back home
G D
Away from this city life
G
Hoping my search will yield
D A D fade
The thrills I knew as a kid
