In the quiet misty morning when the moon has gone to bed
C Am C G
When the sparrows stop their singing and the sky is clear and red
C G C F
When the summer's ceased its gleaming when the corn is past its prime
C Am F C
When adventure's lost its meaning I'll be homeward bound in time
F C F G
Bind me not to the pasture Chain me not to the plow
F Am C G
Set me free to find my calling and I'll return to you somehow
C G C F
If you find it's me you're missing if you're hoping I'll return
C Am C G
To your thoughts I'll soon be list'ning in the road I'll stop and turn
C G C F
Then the wind will set me racing as my journey nears its end
C Am F C
And the path I'll be retracing when I'm homeward bound again
F C F G
Bind me not to the pasture Chain me not to the plow
F Am C G
Set me free to find my calling and I'll return to you somehow
C G C F
In the quiet misty morning when the moon has gone to bed
C Am F C
When the sparrows stop their singing I'll be homeward bound again
