Chorus 1CCmaj7
I know I'm gonna miss the sand in my hair,

The roll of the tide, and the salt in the air,
Dm7G
But, deep inside, it's true,

I'm a home lovin' man, coming on home to you,
CCmaj7
I know I'm gonna miss the wind in my eyes,
Em7Fmaj7
The shimmer of light when the seagull flies,
Dm7GDm7
Al - though I've travelled far, I'm a home lovin' man,
G7FDm7C
And home is where you are--------------!
