VERSE 1

 D        G        D       A7            D 
'Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam,

        G     G               A7            D 
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home;

                                A7        D 
A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there,

                                        A7           D 
Which, seek through the world, is ne'er met with elsewhere.

      A7    Bm     A     D 
Home, home, sweet, sweet home,

  
There's no place like home,

            A7            D 
Oh, there's no place like home. 

  
VERSE 2

D      G      D         A7              D 
I gaze on the moon as I tread the drear wild,

         G       D          A7            D 
And feel that my mother now thinks of her child;

                                   A7          D 
As she looks on that moon from our own cottage door,

                                           A7          D 
Through the woodbine whose fragrance shall cheer me no more.

      A7    Bm     A     D 
Home, home, sweet, sweet home,

  
There's no place like home,

            A7            D 
Oh, there's no place like home. 

  
VERSE 3

D    G        D              A7         D 
An exile from home, splendor dazzles in vain;

         G     D              A7       D 
Oh, give me my lowly thatched cottage again;

                              A7         D 
The birds singing gaily, that came at my call;

                                    A7          D 
Give me them and that peace of mind dearer than all.

      A7    Bm     A     D 
Home, home, sweet, sweet home,

  
There's no place like home,

            A7            D 
Oh, there's no place like home.
