[Verse 1]
      C               F             C
I was down and out as any man could be
C                            F                  C
  Sleeping in a mission they have for guys like me
               F
My shoes for a pillow beneath my head
            C
A cold hard mattress for my bed
                     F         C
I was really feeling sorry for me

[Verse 2]
C                              F            C
  Sitting on the bench next to mine I could see
          C          F                     C
This poor soul in so much worse shape than me
      F
Yet a smile was on his face
                C
He said it's my last night in this place
                  F                 C
Then he lit a cigarette and said to me

[Chorus]
     G                      F           C
Oh tomorrow the sun's gonna shine shine shine
                                  G    G7
And I'm a going home to stay this time
       F
Oh how happy my folks will be
             C
It's been so long since they've seen me
                       G            C
Yes tomorrow I'm going home for the last time

[Solo]

(Key change to G#, capo 3)

G7            C                F                    C
      I dosed off and not much time could have gone by
                          F                    C    C
Then I woke up to see the flames were ten feet high
F                                   C
He dropped his cigarette and as the flames engulfed his bed
                  F                    C
I recall the last words I've heard him sigh

[Chorus]
     G                      F           C
Oh tomorrow the sun's gonna shine shine shine
                                  G    G7
And I'm a going home to stay this time
       F
Oh how happy my folks will be
             C
It's been so long since they've seen me
                       G            C
Yes tomorrow I'm going home for the last time

[Outro]
                                G            C         C
Yes friends tomorrow he's going home for the last time
