First Verse
Fsus(C bass)              
Now I'm trav-lin' home-ward bound,
  F6sus(C bass)
I feel the sun that burns the ground,
    F7sus(C bass)
The mud the sky and in be-tween,
  C7
a dis-tant thought of yes-ter-day's dream.
Gm7                                         Fmaj7
   I was lone-ly when-    I was lone-ly then-

2nd Verse
Fsus(C bass)              
Trav-ling at a ra-pid pace,
  F6sus(C bass)
a friend-ly smile a fam-il-iar face,
F7sus(C bass)
Can it be a voice I hear,
C7
far a-way and yet so near?
Gm7                                         Fmaj7
   I was lone-ly when-    I was lone-ly then-


Chorus
Gm7                                      Fmaj7    
    You're still a part of yes-ter-day's dream-
Gm7                                         Fmaj7  
    I'm travel-ing now towards some-thing un-seen-
Bridge
Am7                                 Gm7
    If you should won-der where I'm go-ing to ,
        Ab    Ab6   Abmaj7   Ab   Csus   C
fol-low me-
