Am                                F
Give me a ticket for an aeroplane,
Am                        D7
I ain't got time to take no fast train.
Am                  G                     D/F#             F     E7
Oh, the lonely days are gone; I'm coming home;
My baby, she wrote me a letter.

Am                                 F
I don't care how much I got to spend,

I won't find my way, my way back home again.
Am                  G                     D/F#            F     E7

Said; she couldn't live, with-out me no more.
C                   G
Listen to me Mister;
                F                       C
Can't you see I've got to get back,

To my baby once more... anyway?
