            D               A               E

           E                            D 
    My old guitar is singing  out my fav'rite song
            G                                             D
    The window rattles as the lightning stri-kes
             E                                    D
    And then the booming thunder rumbles along
                          A
    What was the line to that song?

    CHORUS:
                       D          C                      G/B         A
    And there's nobody home tonight but rain that's falling
            D             C                      G/B       A
    I'm thinking of you and can you hear me calling?
               D                    C            G/B            A
    And I hope you're all right loneliness is so apalling
               E                                        D                A          E
    When nobody's home  Yes, when nobody's ho--me but m-e

       E                                                       D
    I lay her down by the rocking chair that sits by the door
                G                                  D
    And I stand up as the fi-re goes ou-t
             E                                        D
    No wood, I'll have to go out and get some more
                            A
    I reach for my coat by the door

    CHORUS:

      E                                            D
    Fifteen tunes later I happen to glance at the clock
               G                                  D
    And I see that it's getting rather la-te
       E                                   D
    Seems my life at ti-mes is nothing but a block
                   A
    It always runs by that clock

    CHORUS:

    D     C      G/B      A           D      C      G/B        A
    (harmonica solo)
    D     C      G/B      A           E                D           A
