DONT IT MAKE YOU  Joe South



[G]/  /  /  /     [Am]/  /  /  /     [D]/  /  /  /    [G]/  /  /  /   (2X) (see note)
(chorus first):
          [G]Don't it make you want to go [Am]home now
          [D]Don't it make you want to go h[G]ome
          All God's children get w[Am]eary when they roam
          [D]Don't it make you want to go h[G]ome
          [D]Don't it make you want to go h[G]ome
(verse 1):
          Oh the w[G]hippoorwill roosts on the t[Am]elephone pole
          as the [D]Georgia sun goes d[G]own
          Well it's been a long time but I'm [Am]glad to say that I'm
          goin' b[D]ack down to my home t[G]own
          Goin' down to the Greyhound s[Am]tation
          Gonna b[D]uy me a one way f[G]are
          Good lord willin' and the [Am]creeks don't rise
          By to[D]morrow I'll be right t[G]here
(chorus)
(verse 2):
But there's a six-lane highway down by the creek
Where I went skinny dippin' as a child
And a drive-in show where the meadow used to grow
And the strawberries used to grow wild
There's a drag strip down by the riverside
Where my grandma's cow used to graze
Now the grass don't grow and the river don't flow
Like it did in my childhood days
(chorus - lead off last line with "Tell me")
(chorus, up 1 step, and drop 5th line):
          [A]Don't it make you want to go [Bm]home now
          [E]Don't it make you want to go h[A]ome
          All God's children get we[Bm]ary when they roam and
          [E]God how I want to go h[A]ome
(repeat 4-line chorus, fading)
