#4 in 1964.
             (Capo 2nd fret.)
INTRO:
Am               G
I'm gonna hide...if she don't leave me alone.
F                 E
I'm gonna run a...way...(Don't!)
              Am        G        F
Cause you can never..go home, anymore.
E
Listen..Does this sound familiar? 

#1.
Am
You wake up every morning, go to school every day..
F
spend your nights on the corner, just passing the time away.
     Dm
Your life is so lonely, like a child without a toy. 
        E          E7                       Am
Then, a miracle..a boy...And that's called 'glad.'

#2.
Am
Now, my Mom is a good Mom and she loves me with all

her heart.
        F
But she said I was too young to be in love, and the boy 

and I would have to part.
       Dm
And no matter how I ranted and raved...I screamed, 

I pleaded, I cried..
    E
she told me it was not really love, but only my 
                                  Am
girlish pride. And that's called 'bad.'
 Am      G          F     E
(Never...go home anymore.)
                                E7
Now, if that's happened to you, don't let this...

#3.
Am
I packed my clothes and left home that night. 
           F
Though she begged me to stay, I was sure I was right. 
        Dm
And you know something funny? I forgot that boy right away. 
  E
Instead I remember being tucked in bed and hearing my Mama say...
 Am           G     F         Dm    E              Am
'Hush, little baby, don't you cry...Mama won't go away.'Mama! 
        Am    G          Dm7   E                               
You can never go home anymore..Mama!
          Am    G          Dm7  E
No, I can never go home anymore.

#4.
Am
Do you ever get that feeling and wanna kiss and hug her? 
F
Do it now..tell her you love her. 
      Dm
Don't do to your Mom what I did to mine. 
            E
She grew so lonely in the end..Angels picked her for a friend.
Am                 G        F  Em
And I can never go home, anymore..
                   E
And that's called 'sad.'
