[D)I have travelled east 
And (G)I have travelled (D)west
And they say a man with (Bm)wanderin’ feed
Can (A)never (A7)know much (A)rest.
Well I’m (D)goin’ to proof them wrong
I’m (G)goin’ home to(D)day 
I’m goin’ home to Mary
I’m (A)goin’ (A7)home to (D)stay.

Chorus
For I (G)miss her in the (A)mornin’
When the (D)lark is in the (Bm)sky
And I (G)miss her in the (A)noontime
When the world goes (A7)rushing (A)by.
But (D)most of all I (Em)miss her
When the (D)evenin’ time is (G)nigh,
But I’m (D)goin’, yes I’m (Em)goin’ home
To (D)Ma-(A)a-(D)ry.
 
(D)Mary said she’d wait
Till my (G)wanderin’ was (D)o’er
She knew that I’d come (Bm)runing back
To (A)be with (A7)her once (A)more.
I (D)just don’t know the reason
Why I (G)ever went a(D)way
I’m goin’ home to Mary
I’m (A)goin’ (A7)home to (D)stay.

Chorus
(D)Every mile I've gone 
She (G)seemed to call to (D)me
To come back home and (Bm)stay with her
Where(A)ever (A7)I might (A)be.
Well, I’ve (D)just made up my mind
I won’t (G)wait another (D)day
I’m goin’ home to Mary
I’m (A)goin’ (A7)home to (D)stay.
Chorus
