| G | D | |
| Packed my suitcase and I | racked my brain |
| Em | C | |
| Bought a ticket on a | late night train |
| G | D | |
| Took a taxi through the | pourin' rain |
| C | D | G | |
| I'm comin' | home to | you |
| Flew from Boston out to San Jose |
| Sae our old friends in Monterey Bay |
| When they asked me if I'd like to stay |
| I said I'm comin' home to you |
| Chorus: |
| G | D | |
| I' | m comin' home |
| G | C | |
| Made up my mind that's what I' | m gonna do |
| G | D | |
| Can't love nobody on the | telephone |
| C | D | G | |
| I'm comin' | home to | you |
| They threw a party there from dusk 'till dawn |
| Seems like everybody knows old sleepy John |
| He said next time I better bring you along |
| I'm comin' home to you |
| They had fresh caught salmon on the bareques |
| There were people jammin' all night to the blues |
| Life is good out in Santa Cruz but |
| I'm comin' home to you |
| CHORUS |
| I drove forever out to God knows where |
| Come ten-thirty there was no one there |
| They couldn't pay me but I didn't care |
| I'm comin' home to you |
| I'm feelin' better since I got your card |
| I read it over and over when the road gets hard |
| Ain't nothin' better than your own backyard |
| I'm comin' home to you |
| CHORUS TWICE |
| Packed my suitcase and I racked my brain |
| Bought a ticket on the late night train |
| Took a taxi in the pourin' rain...... |
