D       A      G         D     A       D
I love coming home from far across the sea.
                     A     G      D       A     D
I pick my little wee wifey up and set her on my knee.
     G             D
See how my eldest boy has grown,
 G                 D
Whilst I've been away,
     G                  D            A        D             A
"See here's a boat I've whittled for thee, especially for thee.
 D                       A
I've thought of you everyday"

[Verse 2]
D       A      G         D   A         D
I love coming home from far across the sea,
                 A       G
And taking up my walking cane
     D       A           D
And passing through the trees.
   G             D            G             D
I wander on the hillside, the doggie at my heel.
      G               D        A
The bracken waves a welcome to me,
  D              A
"Where have you been?
 D                        A
We've missed you a great deal."

D       A      G         D     A       D
I love coming home from far across the sea.
                      A     G
I pick my little wee wifey up,
     D      A     D
And set her on my knee.
A         D
La-da-da-dum
A            D
La-da-da-da-dum
