Verses follow a 2 measure pattern /D-Em7/C -G/ D: XX023X Em7: XX203X C: X3201X G: X2003X Verse: I remember how you loved this holy city in the spring Fresh flowers in the market, Children running in the street But it's changed so much I don't think you would recognize a thing Now it's just a red light district an international disgrace Refrain: G: 320033 Dsus: XX0233 C add D: X30033 G Dsus Come home......come home Cadd D You've been gone so long G Come home Verse 2: Papers and petitions have been piling at the door nailed to the door Theives break in at night they say you want be back no more Your wife seems so lethargic, so scattered and so frail And the child who's never known you just stands at the wall and wails Refrain The following section is done with two guitars. One plays the chords underneath while the second drones on: XXX033 pretty much throughout: C Yellow ribbons 'round the olive trees you planted in the Em park Bm G C Only the brave or the foolish ever walk there after dark Am All around the world a table's set and there's an G empty place Bm Still we go through the motions breaking bread C D C and saying grace But the ones you left to run your business run it right into the ground Each one a law into himself leading followers around And in the babble of the street amid the jostling of the crowd On every side like helpless sheep It makes me want to cry out loud Refrain
