6 7 7 7 -7 -6 -6 6 5 4
Way out in the land of the setting sun,
4 -4 5 4 -4 -4 4
Where the wind blows wild and free,
-4 5 -5 -6 -6 -4 5 -5 -6 -6
There's a lovely spot, just the only one,
6 -6 -7 6 -6 -4 6
That means home sweet home to me.
6 6 7 7 7 -7 -6 -6 5 4
If you follow the old Kit Carson trail,
4 -4 5 4 -4 -4 4
Until desert meets the hills,
-4 5 -5 -6 -6 -4 5 -5 -6 -6
Oh you certainly will agree with me,
6 -6 -7 6 5 -4 -6 6
It's the place of a thousand thrills.
CHORUS:
5 5 (45) 5 5
Home means Nevada,
-5 -5 5 -5
Home means the hills,
6 6 6 -6 6 -5 5
Home means the sage and the pine.
7 7 7 -7 -6 -5 -5 5 -5
Out by the Truckee's silvery rills,
-7 -7 -7 -6 -4 (45) 5
Out where the sun always shines,
5 5 (45) 5 5 -5 -5 5 -5
There is the land that I love the best,
6 6 6 -7 -7 -7 -6
Fairer than all I can see.
7 -7 7 -8 7 -6 6 7 6
Right in the heart of the golden west,
5 6 -5 5 5 -4 4
Home means Nevada to me.
Verse 2:
Whenever the sun at the close of day,
Colors all the western sky,
Oh my heart returns the the desert gray,
And the mountains tow'ring high.
Where the moonbeams play in the shadowed glen
With the spotted fawn and doe.
All the live long night until morning light,
It's the loveliest place I know.
CHORUS
Note: Where it says (45), play Eb if possible.
