Tuning: Db Ab Db Gb Bb Eb
The tuning in this song is probably the biggest pain but bear with me this is my
first tab and it sounds right to me when I play it.

D
You were too bad for a little square town,
C G
With your hip-hop hat and your pants on the ground,
D
Heard you cussed out mama, pushed daddy around
C G
before you tore off in his car
D
Here you are running these dirty old streets
C G
Tattoo on your neck, fake gold on your teeth
D
Got the hood here snowed, but you cant fool me
C G
We both know who you are
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/e/eric_church/homeboy_crd_ver_2.html ]
D
Homeboy, youre gonna wish one day,
C G
That you were sittin on a gate of a truck by the lake
D C G
With your high school flame on one side, ice cold beer on the other
D C
Aint no shame in a blue collar forty, little house, little kid, little
G
small town story
D C G
If you dont ever do anything else for me, just do this for me brother,
D (or same riff as intro)
Come on home, boy.
I was haulin this hay to Uncle Joes farm,
Thought of us barefoot kids in the yard,
Man, it seems we were just catchin snakes in the barn
Now youre caught up in this mess
I could use a little help unloading these bales
I could keep you pretty busy with a hammer and nails
Aint a glamorous life but it will keep you outta jail,
Not worry us all to death
Homeboy, youre gonna wish one day,
That you were sittin on a gate of a truck by the lake
With your high school flame on one side, ice cold beer on the other
Aint no shame in a blue collar forty, little house, little kid, little small town story
If you dont ever do anything else for me, just do this for me brother,
D C G
come on home, boy,
D C G D
Come on home, boy
You cant hold back the hands of time,
Mamas goin grey, and so is daddys mind
D C G
I Wish youd come on back and make it all right
Before theyre called home, boy
D
Homeboy
D C G
Come on home, boy
D C G
Homeboy
D
Come on home, boy.
