Come Home
By Pierce Pettis
Transcribed by Joe Higgins
This is rough crd file of this song that I figured out for someone who
was looking for it. I figured as long as I was e mailing it to him I may as
well send a copy to OLGA. Pierce does this song on his fine disc, "While the
Serpent Lies Sleeping." He uses a very controllded strum techniqu that
centers on the middle strings
Capo 2
Verses follow a 2 measure pattern /D-Em7/C -G/
D: XX023X Em7: XX203X C: X3201X
G: X2003X
Verse:
I remember how you loved this holy city in the spring
Fresh flowers in the market,
Children running in the street
But it's changed so much I don't think you would
recognize a thing
Now it's just a red light district an international disgrace
Refrain:
G: 320033 Dsus: XX0233 C add D: X30033
G Dsus
Come home......come home
Cadd D
You've been gone so long
G
Come home
Verse 2:
Papers and petitions have been piling at the door
nailed to the door
Theives break in at night they say you want be back no more
Your wife seems so lethargic, so scattered and so frail
And the child who's never known you
just stands at the wall and wails
Refrain
The following section is done with two guitars. One plays the chords
underneath while the second drones on: XXX033 pretty
much throughout:
C
Yellow ribbons 'round the olive trees you planted in the
Em
park
Bm G
C
Only the brave or the foolish ever walk there after dark
Am
All around the world a table's set and there's an
G
empty place
Bm
Still we go through the motions breaking bread
C D C
and saying grace
But the ones you left to run your business run it right into
the ground
Each one a law into himself leading followers around
And in the babble of the street amid the jostling of the crowd
On every side like helpless sheep
It makes me want to cry out loud
Refrain
This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official PIERCE PETTIS tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
