[Em]I watch the [D]plane fly a[C]way, from the place it left me
[Em]with a c[D]oldness in my [C]heart.
[Em]This old pl[D]ace dont look fa[C]milar to me now,
but [Em]I suppose it's g[D]ood to be [C]home.
[Em]All my am[D]bitions and my [C]dreams left on that jetplane,
[Em]back to the p[D]lace that I be[C/G]long.

Chorus.
Sweet Massa[G]chusettes,[D] I want to [C]see it [G]again
[D]I want to [C]be there [G]again.
but it's [D]hard when you're banished three [C]thousand
miles a[G]way.

Verse2.

Dont get me wrong I love the country I come from
and my roots I'd never want to change.
But it was in the U-S of A that I finally found my way
a steady road I walked on.
All the bills I could not pay, so they sent me away,
and now all I think of is-

Sweet Massachusettes, I want to see her again
I want to feel it again.
but it's hard when you're banished three thousand
miles away.

Verse3.
Now my girl waits for me, hoping someday for my return.
but it seems so far away.
I hate to put her through this pain, to hear her cry on the line
I cannot comfort her of hold her hand.
I cant stand this hell, I might as well be in jail,
if I'm not with her.
My soul companion I did meet, when I lived on Bostons streets
I've got to get back somehow....to

Sweet Massachusettes, I want to hold her again
I've got to hold her again.
I need to see her again, I want to love her again.  ect ect..
but it's hard when you're banished three thousand
miles away.

Sweet Massachusettes, sweet Massachusettes, sweet Massachusettes
fade....
