Eb           Ab                 Eb                Ab
In the quiet misty morning when the moon has gone to bed
         Eb                   Cm             Eb                Bb
When the sparrows stop their singing and the sky is clear and red
          Eb                  Ab                  Eb                Ab
When the summer's ceased its gleaming when the corn is past its prime
     Eb                    Cm              Ab                 Eb
When adventure's lost its meaning I'll be homeward bound in time


        Ab          Eb                 Ab          Bb
Bind me not to the pasture Chain me not to the plow
       Ab               Cm              Eb                  Bb
Set me free to find my calling and I'll return to you somehow


        F#                  B                   F#             B
If you find it's me you're missing if you're hoping I'll return
         F#                    D#m                F#                 C#
To your thoughts I'll soon be list'ning in the road I'll stop and turn
          F#                B             F#                B
Then the wind will set me racing as my journey nears its end
        F#              D#m              B                F#
And the path I'll be retracing when I'm homeward bound again


        B          F#                 B          C#
Bind me not to the pasture Chain me not to the plow
       B               D#m              F#                  C#
Set me free to find my calling and I'll return to you somehow


        F#           B                  F#                B
In the quiet misty morning when the moon has gone to bed
         F#                   D#m              B                F#
When the sparrows stop their singing I'll be homeward bound again
