G                
Crack of dawn I hit the road  set my shoulders for the heavy load 

       C                         G 
Coffee leaking through the paper sack 

        
The foreman says I'm late again  he can't stand it when I only grin 

            C                              G 
He's got me eight hours she's got me after that 

  D7 
I can't wait 'til it's quitting time 

  
She got something cooking for me tonight 

  
              G    C     D7 
She keeps the home fires burning 

          Am                        G 
While I'm out earning a living in a world 

       C                     D7 
That's known for its pouring rain 

              G    C     D7 
She keeps the home fires burning 

             Am       D7          C                  G 
Ooh and it's her warm loving that keeps me returning again 

  
          
Out of gas just my luck four bald tires on my pickup truck 

        C                   G 
No more credit on my credit card 

        
When I come home and hit that door I remember what 
  
      
These aching arms are for 

         C                             G 
She's my one light when the world goes dark 

D7 
Tomorrow it's the same old grind 


But she'll be burning in my mind 


              G    C     D7 
She keeps the home fires burning 

          Am                        G 
While I'm out earning a living in a world 

       C                     D7 
That's known for its pouring rain 

              G    C     D7 
She keeps the home fires burning 

             Am       D7          C                  G 
Ooh and it's her warm loving that keeps me returning again
