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
