 Verse 1 chords:
The  humble sky is falling  down, on golden  mother May
 The sun in shadows rising  paints the dawning  break of day
And  you could ask ten thousand  times, how come I left that day
But  the answer won't change  your mind
 And I've  got nothing else  to say
 Chorus 1 chords:
 Mine eyes  have seen the glory Of that ragged  flag unfurled
 And I wonder when the light  of the last
Honest  man passed from this weary world and they say
Home  is where the heart  is, my home  ain't in this town
 I build walls  just to climb  them
Climb  them just so you can help me down
 Verse 2 chords:
Hear  me oh hear  me these times  they grow faint
And  the years spring up new  like the In...dian paint
Our  dreams they succeed  us our  children we taint
Pray  for my soul...  the times they  grow faint
 Mine eyes have seen the glory Of that ragged flag unfurled
 And I wonder when the light of the last
 Honest man passed from this weary world and they say
 Home is where the heart is, my home ain't in this town
 I build walls just to climb them
 Climb them just so you can help me down
