Theres aEstorm across theE7valley

Aclouds are rolling in;

Hes anEhour away fromE7riding

on urAprayers up in the sky;

&B7ten days on the road are barelyEgone

Theres aEfire softlyE7burning

Asuppers on the store;

but its theB7light in ur eyes that makes himEwarm

AHey its good toB7be back homeEaE7gain
