NOTE: I tried to figure out by ear the Intro Riff so it's not 100% right but it sounds
good too.

INTRO:
G Am D C x2
G Am
Hey my Italian girl,
D C
You’re so sad and far away from me these days
G Am
I’ve been halfway ‘round the world
D C
In seven weeks and I ain’t seen your face
Am D Am
But don’t you fall apart on me
D
I’ll see you in the spring
G
Hey Valentina
Am D G
Won’t you come back home to me?
G Am
Everyday this island
D C
Taunts me with its ever stretching beaches
G Am
If only I could sail I’d cover
D C
All the space between us
Am D Am
And if I owned a parachute
D
I’d fall fourteen thousand feet for you
G
Hey Valentina
Am D G
Won’t you come back home to me?
Dm C
Spent these twenty two years just wondering
Em G
How this island could have made it as a prison
Dm C Em G
And now I know ‘cause you’re not on it
Em D
Not on it
*GUITAR AND BANJO CUT SAME AS INTRO*
G Am
I’ve been working on the day shift
D C
And saving every dollar that I make
G Am
Today I bought my ticket
D C
Flying north for fifteen hours straight
Am D Am
And when I get there in the morning
D
I hope you’re waiting for me
G
Hey Valentina
Am D
Won’t you come back home?
G

Am D
Won’t you come back home?

Won’t you come back home?

Won’t you come back home?

Won’t you come back home?

Won’t you come back home?

Won’t you come back home?

Won’t you come back home to me?
