Halfway Home Cafe
Capo on 2nd fret - All chords are in relation to the capo ** Intro: D D D A I was pourin' coffee for table number one Bm A G I couldn't help but hear him what was going on D A It got my attention when I heard a young man's voice Bm A G Saying sheriff I'll be going now if its alright with you boys A Bm Those years I spent in prison stole to much time from me G D/F# Em A I won't waste another minute if I'm really free --Chorus-- G D I'm goin' home my family's waitin' for me Goin' home I'm amazed that they still love me Bm A G A They forgive me for the bitter seeds I've sown Bm A G Heaven knows I've been away to long A D G A So now I'm going home.... D A A burger and a special for table number eight Bm A G I was bustin' number seven when I heard her young heart break D A He told her it was over they could never meet again Bm A G That he found a taste of courage twisted on his wedding band A Bm Her tears began to fall but they could not touch his heart G D/F# Em A I heard him say "I'm sorry But it was all wrong from the start" --Chorus-- G D I'm goin' home my family's waitin' for me Goin' home I'm amazed that they still love me Bm A G A T hey forgive me for the bitter seeds I've sown Bm A G Heaven knows I've been away to long A D So now I'm going home.... A Bm There's a million other stories from the Halfway Home Cafe A Bm A It's a never ending saga and they're played out every day D A But this one's finally over the foods all put away Bm A G And the coffee pot stands empty at the Halfway Home Cafe D A But over in the corner at table number three Bm A G Sits a father and a runaway well it looks that way to me A Bm I said "I hate to interrupt you but its really gettin' late" G D/F# Em A The young girl looked up smilin she said "Mister that's ok" --Chorus-- G D I'm goin' home my family's waitin' for me Goin' home I'm amazed that they still love me Bm A G A They forgive me for the bitter seeds I've sown Bm A G Heaven knows I've been away to long A G So now I'm going home.... A D Hhmmm... I'm goin' home
