[Intro]
E
[Verse]
E B
I saw the scatterlight streaming
C#m A
Down through the century trees
E
Bloodfern and juniper
B E
Sweeteye and shattercane weeds
[Verse]
E B
I saw the cloud from the cabin
C#m A
Slate rock and teeming with storm
E B
Carrion bird caught in the hearth
C#m A
And killed by collision with door
A
Feathers all over the floor
[Chorus]
E B
I'll be home where I go
C#m A
I'll be home wherever I go
E B E B
I'll be home where I go someday
[Verse]
E B
Buckshot rang out in the distance
C#m A
Over and over again
E
River the moon shiver
B E B
I saw my sister jump in
[Verse]
E B
And I saw my brother in Dallas
C#m A
Quietly drunk every day
E B
Gentle and kind and lost in his mind
C#m A
And surprised when his wife went away
[Verse]
E B
And I saw the killers in costume
C#m A
And I saw their satellites burn
E B
And I saw them measure their money
C#m A
In whether they look like the people they hurt
A
Maybe that's just who we were
[Chorus]
E B
I'll be home where I go
C#m A
I'll be home wherever I go
E B E B
I'll be home where I go someday
[Verse]
E B
I wake up staggering lonely
C#m A
Birdsong and particle air
E
Her letter in my jacket
B E
I carry myself down the stairs
[Verse]
E B
Lena she treated me easy
C#m A
She found me wherever I was
E
Bloodfern and juniper
B
Sweeteye and shattercane
C#m A
That never felt like enough
A
That never felt like enough
[Chorus]
E B
I'll be home where I go
C#m A
I'll be home wherever I go
E B E B
I'll be home where I go someday
E B
I'll be home where I go
C#m A
I'll be home wherever I go
E B E B E*
I'll be home where I go someday
