Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
 There's a house  somewhere I know  where the fires  burn  all night long
 There's a swing  outside on the porch  where I feel  I could
 Rock away  the dusk  til the dawn
 And  even though the wind may be howlin'
Stars  are bright and they push  me on and on
 There's a half  moon rising  in southeastern skies
 There's a cold  wind blowin' across  the great divide
 And the stars  they guide  my way  across the night
 There's a half  moon rising, pushin  me on to another  mountain top
Push  me on, no  I'll never stop,  push me on home
 There's a half  moon rising  in southeastern  skies tonight
 same chords as Verse 1):
 Now the shoes on my feet, those soles broken down
 And my coat is tattered and worn
 And the hunger in my belly, and the fever in my head
 Will vanish 'ere my first glimpse of home
 And even though the rain may now be fallin'
 The passion is deep and pushes me on
 (Chorus)
 there's a still at dawn like the sound of your love's breath
 As she lies sleeping
 Down below me now in the valley
 Is the only piece on earth that I ever want to know
 And her lips are as soft as I remember
 She alone has brought me back on home
 (Chorus)
