Bb Bdim F D7 G7 C7 F Db7 C7
[Verse 1]
F6 Gm C7
Pardon the smile on my face my friend
Gm C7 Fmaj7
Dreamin' of reachin' my journeys end
Am7b5 D7 Gm Bbm6
I'm headin' straight for my hearts desire
G9 C7add13 C7#5
Gee, it's good to know I'm near the home fire
[Verse 2]
Fmaj7 Gm C7
All of the folks that I love are there
Gm7 C7 Fmaj7
I got a date with my favourite chair
Am7b5 D7 Gm Bbm6
With every step every hope grows higher
G9 C7add13 F6 G9
Didn't know how much I missed the home fire
[Chorus]
Cm7 F7 Cm7 F7
The noises, the TV, the rusty old pipes
Bbmaj7 F7#5 Bb6
The cat always teasin' my dog
Dm7 G9 Dm7 G9
The neighbours, the quarrels, the screaming of kids
Am7 D7b9 Gm C7
For the first time in years I'll sleep like a log
[Verse 3]
F6 Gm C7
Heaven is waiting for me, my friend
Gm C7 Fmaj7
Seven or eight dreams around the bend
Am7b5 D7 Gm Bbm6
And if you're ever in town inquire

We'll be glad to have you share the home fire

(george weiss / bob thiele)
Pardon the smile on my face my friend
Dreamin' of reachin' my journeys end
I'm headin' straight for my hearts desire
Gee, it's good to know i'm near the home fire
All of the folks that i love are there
I got a date with my favourite chair
With every step every hope grows higher
Didn't know how much i missed the home fire
The noises, the tv, the rusty old pipes
The cat always teasin' my dog
The neighbours, the quarrels, the screaming of kids
For the first time in years i'll sleep like a log
Heaven is waiting for me, my friend
Seven or eight dreams around the bend
And if you're ever in town inquire
We'll be glad to have you share the home fire
Yes, the noises, the tv, the rusty old pipes
The cat always teasin' my dog
The neighbours, the quarrels, the scream of the kids
For the first time in years i'll sleep like a log
Heaven is waiting for me, my friend
Seven or eight dreams around the bend
And if you're ever in town inquire
We'll be glad to have you share the home fire
We'll be glad to have you share the home fire
