 5  -5* -3*  5 -5*  5     -5*  -4  3*  -2 -1*
Fly-ing home to a place that’s al-ways sun-ny
 4  -5* -3*   5  -5*  5   -5*  -4  3* -2 -1*
Fly-ing home with my pock-ets full of mon-ey
 4  -5*  -3* 5 -5*  5  -5*  -4   3*  -2 -1*
Fly-ing home to my lit-tle home-town hon-ey
 1   -1* -2  3*  -2*
Wait-in’ for me there
-4 4   -5* -3*
C’mon let’s go
  5   -5*  5   -5*  -4   3*  -2 -1*
Don’t you mind this sud-den flur-ry
  4   -5*  -3*  5   -5* 5 -5* -4  3* -2 -1*
Don’t you know that I’m in an aw-ful hur-ry
  4  -5* -3* 5  -5* 5  -5*  -4  3* -2 -1*
Ain’t it so that my ba-by’s gon-na wor-ry
1 -1*  -2   3*  -2*
If I don’t get there
4   -5*  5  -5*  5  -3* 5    3*
My heart is burn-in’ ev-er since
 5    3*    5   3*   2 -2   3*    3*
I’ve been learn-in’ how I missed her
 -2  -2*  3*    5*
Since I kissed her
-5 -6 -5   -6   -5
Now I can stand it
  5   -5   -3*   -5 -3*  -5
Won’t you please un-der-stand 
-3*   -3   -3*  3    3
That I’ve been lone-some
 -2  -2*   3  -3* 4 -5*  5   -3*
I’ve been liv-ing on my own-some
 5  -5*  -3*
Fly-ing home
 5   -5* 5    -5*   -4  3*   -2   -1*
From now on there’s no more griev-in’
4  -5*  -3*
I won’t roam
 5   -5*   5   -5* -4  3*  -2  -1*
Once I’m there I’m nev-er leav-in’
 4  -5* -3*  5   -5*  5
Fly-ing home to that love
-5*  -4 3*  -2  -1*
I’ll be re-ceiv-in’
  1  -1* -2  3* -2* -1*    3*
We’ll be so hap-py that’s why 
-2* -1* -1*  3*
I’m fly-ing home
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
