(starts on A)
DCGD
As I've travelled through this land I've always
CGEmCDC
kept a plan to never settle down, in any one
GDCG
town, But as the homefires flicker dim, my
DCGEmC
thoughts go back again to the girl I left
DCG
behind, still on my mind.
[chorus]:
    GEm
    And the girl that I love said she'd
    DCG
    wait for me when I return. And I've
    DCGD
    always kept the yearn to return to the
    CDG
    homefires burning.
     
DCGD
Now the miles have come between many moons since
CGEmCDC
I have since seen the flame I hold so dear. I
GDCG
feel her near. And the face that I cry
DCGEmC
illuminates the moon and sky. I ask the reason
DCG
why, with no reply.
[chorus]
DCGD
Yes I've always kept the yearn to return to the
CDG
homefires burning.
DCGD
Now I've travelled through this land I've always
CGEmCDC
kept the plan to never settle down, in any
G
one town,
[chorus]
     
DCGD
Yes I've always kept the yearn to return to the
CDG
homefires burning.
