Introduction:
G
Crack of dawn I hit the road set my shoulders for the heavy load
C G
Coffee leaking through the paper sack
The foreman says I'm late again he can't stand it when I only grin
C G
He's got me eight hours she's got me after that
D7
I can't wait 'til it's quitting time
She got something cooking for me tonight
G C D7
She keeps the home fires burning
Am G
While I'm out earning a living in a world
C D7
That's known for its pouring rain
G C D7
She keeps the home fires burning
Am D7 C G
Ooh and it's her warm loving that keeps me returning again
Out of gas just my luck four bald tires on my pickup truck
C G
No more credit on my credit card
When I come home and hit that door I remember what
C G
She's my one light when the world goes dark
D7
Tomorrow it's the same old grind
But she'll be burning in my mind
G C D7
She keeps the home fires burning
Am G
While I'm out earning a living in a world
C D7
That's known for its pouring rain
G C D7
She keeps the home fires burning
Am D7 C G
Ooh and it's her warm loving that keeps me returning again
