She Keeps the Home Fires Burning

She Keeps the Home Fires Burning
By Ronnie Milsap
 
G               C                                     G
Crack of dawn I hit the road  set my shoulders for the heavy load
       C                         G
Coffee leaking through the paper sack
       C             G                                    C    G
The foreman says I'm late again  he can't stand it when I only grin
            C                             G
He's got me eight hours she's got me after that
  D7
I can't wait 'til it's quitting time
 
She got something cooking for me tonight
 
              G    C     D7
She keeps the home fires burning
          Am                        G
While I'm out earning a living in a world
       C                     D7
That's known for its pouring rain
              G    C     D7
She keeps the home fires burning
             Am       D7          C                  G
Ooh and it's her warm loving that keeps me returning again
 
           C                                  G
Out of gas just my luck four bald tires on my pickup truck
        C                   G
No more credit on my credit card
       C             G
When I come home and hit that door I remember what 
      C              G
These aching arms are for
         C                             G
She's my one light when the world goes dark
D7
Tomorrow it's the same old grind
 
But she'll be burning in my mind
 
Repeat #2
