E                           A 
My baby?s at home with her radio on 
      B                      E 
A hot meal and a tall stiff drink 
                         A 
I think I?ll sing her a lullaby 
          B                   E 
And I?ll watch her fall fast asleep 
                              A 
One day she walked by me and lightning was striking 
         B                        E 
And the clouds they were burning black 
                                 A 
She swept back her hair and the clouds they did stare 
        B                        E 
As the sunshine pushed it?s way back? 
 
 
(chorus) 
E                     A            B                   E 
And there?s only one place I wanna be when the day is done 
                               A 
Well that?s lying half stoned outta my mind 
B                   E 
Wrapped up in your love. 
 
 
E                       A 
I spent some time on a California line 
      B                    E 
I was shipping parts back east 
                               A 
And the day soon came they released me from my chains 
      B                      E 
I had all the money that I?d need 
                                     A 
And them greyhounds ran slow and the hours ran long 
        B                   E 
Awe but I was finally on my way 
                                       A 
I stepped through the doorway and that big house was empty 
          B                  E 
And there ain?t no words to explain? 
 
 
(repeat chorus) 
 
E                                A 
Well, someday I?ll die from the pains in my life 
        B                          E 
And I?m sent where there?s pain no more 
                         A 
All I can say is there?d better be a way 
           B                         E 
For me to hold close the one that I adore 
                    A                  B                  E 
Heaven?s a place no one wants to face before the time is through 
                     A                        B             E 
And if ever a realm existed in hell, It would be me without you? 
 
 
(repeat chorus)
