This is a very easy song, with a simple strum pattern and only a few chords. It is in standard tuning. 


 G        Em       Bm   G     Em         Bm 
   On the way back home, how long did it seem? 
 G        Em     Bm   G       Em           Bm 
   Three days or four, snow glazed all the trees 
 G     Em         Bm        C       
   My mother held me like a motorcycle 
       Am               Em 
   So warm, we sang melody 
      C     G 
   Oh-Ahhh 


 G        Em        Bm   G      Em             Bm 
   Campin' out all night, slow moves with the light 
 G            Em                  Bm 
   Of all the things which you've seen 
           C         
   Was the motorcycle 
       Am            Em 
   So warm, you sang melody 
      C      G 
   Oh-Ahhh 


 G                    C     G 
   At that moment I'd know 
 G                         D    G 
   Just how close we could be 
 G                          C      G 
   And though it always was mine 
 G                        D    G 
   It always seemed new to me 



 G                        C     G 
   Ten thousand colors in all 
 G                          D      G 
   Eyes like caves on my cheeks 
 G                         C      G 
   To all the people I've loved 
 G                     D      G 
   Don't think poor of me 



 G                     C    G 
   It was until I woke up 
 G                           C        D         G 
   That I could hold down a joke or a job or a dream 
 G           C             D          G 
   But then all three are one in the same 
 G         C            D         G 
   Yeah, all then are one in the same 
 G      C            D          G 
   And all then are one in the same
