Rollin' home

 

       A                                              D

1. I left my home one day, for the sake of better pay,

            A                                                   E

    in a foreign land 12 centuries back in time.

                       A

    Where the sun keeps burning down,

                 D

    on the hole drilled in the ground,

                A                 E               A

    and I dream of the girl I left behind.

 

               A                                                  D

2. Well I signed on the dotted line, and I thought in a few years time,

               A                                                        E

    Iīll be home and we can start a brand new life.

            A                                            D

    But everything went wrong, and I just donīt know how long,

                     A                       E                 A

    they will make me stay to pay for my crime.

 

           D               A                 D

And I wish I was rollin' home, rollin' home,

  A                                        E

home to the place I long to see.

 D           A                 D        A

Oh, oh, rollin' home, rollin' home,

                               E                      A

thereīs someone waiting there for me.

 

                      A                                            D

3. Thereīs a law that rules this land, that I just didnīt understand,

        A                                             E

    I didnīt know that I was doing wrong.

             A

    But they donīt seem to care,

                     D

     and they do it when theyīre over there,

            A                          E                     A

    but here you face the justice of their god.  + CHORUS

 

                   A                                     D

4.  All the money that Iīve saved to pay for better days,

             A                                                  E

    just canīt make up for how I miss you so.

        D              A                                         D

    Thereīs no consolation prize, oh, but when I close my eyes,

              A                E                      A

    Iīm dreaming of you in our new home.  + CHORUS

 

-D    A                             E                               A

     Rollin'home, thereīs someone waiting for me,

-D                                    E                              A

     Rollin'home, thereīs someone waiting for me.
