E G#m7 F#m E
[Verse 1]
E G#m7
Mama please don't go
G#m7 F#m E
Won't you stay here for one more day
E G#m7
I've been your boy for so long now
G#m7 F#m E
There's so much I've, I still have to say
E G#m7 F#m
Sky rips open and I held my heart in my hand
F#m E
Like a soldier on his very last day
E G#m7 F#m
Cried myself to sleep that night and I listened
F#m E
As I heard the angels sing, "Sha la la"
[Chorus]
E B D A
Sha la la la, sha la la la, I'm going home
E B D A
Sha la la la, la la la la, I'm going home
[Verse 2]
E G#m7
Oh, something inside of me makes me scream, oh
F#m E
How could God take you from a little boy
E G#m7
He'll be alright, he's by my side
G#m7 F#m E
He's not a little boy, he's my pride and joy, sha la la la
[Chorus]
E B D A
Sha la la la, sha la la la, I'm going home
E B D A
Sha la la la, la la la la, I'm going home
[Verse 3]
E G#m7 F#m
Summer on the radio and the phone rings
F#m E
And it was Jeanette
E G#m7
She said, "Boy we had to let her go
G#m7 F#m E
I begged no, no not yet"
E G#m7
You left six of us to fend for ourselves
F#m E
Guess it's just part of someone's master plan
E G#m7
We see you laughing 'cause you're my best friend
G#m7 F#m E
You're the light of the Lamb and I cried when the angels sing
[Chorus]
E B D A
Sha la la la, sha la la la, take me home
E B D A
Sha la la la, la la la la, I'm going home
E B D A
Sha la la la, la la la la, I'm going home
E B D A
Sha la la la, la la la la, I'm going home
E B D A
Sha la la la, la la la la
E B D A
Sha la la la, la la la la
