HOMESICK – Thirsty Merc
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Kengus
>>Here's a (piano) ballad by the aussie band Thirsty Merc, thought
the song deserved to be on UG. Easy enough to play, check the chords
though - works fine with these, although I'm pretty sure the C
after Dm in the chorus is not a simple major. Try it out.<<
Standard tuning
Capo on first fret

F7/D# Bb/D Gdim/C# Bb6 Bm#5

I’ve travelled down some lonely roads

I almost lost my way

F C/E Dm
I......would give all my time

just to spend my nights with you

I would give all my time
just to spend my nights with you
I would lay down my fears
just to spend my years with you
I would give all my time
just to spend my nights with you
I would lay down my fears
just to spend my years with you
cause when I’m standing at your door
I don’t feel homesick anymore
When I’m standing at your door
I don’t feel homesick anymore
