Come on In The Oak Ridge Boys
Key of D
Throughout the song, play the two bass notes of the chords Bm, D, and
G during the verses. Use the bar chords for these. In the chorus it
opens up and then I don't use the bar chords.
Intro: Bm, D, Bm, D
I d[Bm]reamed I was dying in T[D]exas
I c[Bm]losed my eyes and I s[D]igned
Like a [Bm]black and white movie I [D]saw my days
[G]Playing out before my [Bm]eyes
I was [D]crippled by a life of in[Bm]justice
I was [D]bent from walking through the [Bm]wind
I plead g[D]uilty on a day of [Bm]judgement
God just s[G]hook my hand and g[A]rinned
Chorus:
And he said, [D]come [A]on i[G]n,
You [D]did the b[Bm]est that y[A]ou could [G]do
There's a l[Bm]ittle bit of [A]right in e[G]very wrong
There's a l[D]ittle bit of [A]me in [G]you
[Bm]Sister I know that you're [D]weary
You've been [Bm]slaving in the sun all [D]day
The b[Bm]urn of life in your [D]belly
[G]Sorrow in your heart of [Bm]clay
Your [D]husband was a man of p[Bm]assion
Passion [D]stole your husband a[Bm]way
And your [D]son gave a life for your [Bm]freedom
But you f[G]eel like a prisoner any[A]way. Sister....
chorus, then Bm, D, Bm, D
I [Bm]left my home and my f[D]amily
With my s[Bm]hoes in the dust of this [D]land
I [Bm]found a job and a w[D]oman
But n[G]othing went the way I [Bm]planned
I was [D]ambushed by my own good i[Bm]ntentions
Used [D]up every dollar I [Bm]earned
So I went [D]back to the home of my [Bm]father
And said, "your [D]American son has re[Bm]turned"
"Dad, your [G]American son has re[A]turned" ... and he said
