You're My Home

Billy Joel

 

Capo 3

Every chord gets two beats unless otherwise noted.

 

 

Intro: / D - Dmaj7 - / D7sus4 - G - /

       / D - Dmaj7 - / G - A - /

 

D           Dmaj7       D7sus4 (1)

  When you look into my eyes

         G             Em7         A7 (1)

And you see the crazy gypsy in my soul

D           Dmaj7       D7sus4 (1)

It always comes as a surprise

         G             Em7         A7 (1)

When I feel my withered roots begin to grow.

 

Chorus 1:

        F#m7 (1)                     / G G/F# Em7 - /

Well I never had a place that I could call my very own

      G                 A7                     

But that's alright, my love, 'cause you're my home.

 

/ D - Dmaj7 - / G - A - /

 

D           Dmaj7       D7sus4 (1)

When you touch my weary head

         G             Em7            A7 (1)

And you tell me everything will be alright

        D         Dmaj7         D7sus4 (1)

You say, "Use my body for your bed.

        G                  Em7                 A7 (1)

And my love will keep you warm throughout the night."

 

Chorus 2:

           F#m7 (1)                     / G G/F# Em7 - /

Well I'll never be a stranger and I'll never be  alone

    G             A7                     

Wherever we're together, that's my home.

 

/ D - Dmaj7 - / G - A - /

 

Bridge:

Bm               A            D (1)     

Home can be the Pennsylvania Turnpike,

Bm        A              Em (1)

Indiana's early morning dew

Bm              A            D (1)

High up in the hills of California,

Bm             A               Em (1)

Home is just another word for you.

 

Instrumental Verse:

/ D - Dmaj7 - / D7sus4 - - - /

/ G - Em7 - / A7 - - - /

/ G - Em7 - / A7 - - - /

 

Chorus 3:

        F#m7 (1)                     / G G/F# Em7 - /

Well I never had a place that I could call my very own

      G                 A7                     

But that's alright, my love, 'cause you're my home.

 

/ D - Dmaj7 - / G - A - /

 

D        Dmaj7        D7sus4 (1)

  If I travel all my life

       G             Em7            A7 (1)

And I never get to stop and settle down

D            Dmaj7          D7sus4 (1)

  Long as I have you by my side

           G              Em7              A7 (1)

There's a roof above and good walls all around.

 

           F#m7 (1)                      / G G/F# Em7 - /

You're my castle, you're my cabin, and my instant pleasure dome.

   G              A7                     

I need you in my house, 'cause you're my home.

 

/ D - Dmaj7 - / G - A - / x4

 

End on D
