[E] I went to the old home --- Where I [A] once used to [E] roam
And all of my friends --- had [F#] ev'ryone [B7] gone
How [E] sad and how drear --- No [A] voice did I [E] hear
There was no one --- To [B7] welcome me [E] home.
[E] No one --- to welcome me home;
Oh! No, no one --- To [F#] welcome me [B7] home
How [E] sad and how drear --- No [A] voice could I [E] hear
There was no one --- To [B7] welcome me [E] home.
I went to the old school --- Where I once loved to play
And all of my playmates had every one gone
So lonesome and drear --- No voice did I hear
There was no one --- to welcome me home.
No one - to welcome me home
There was one --- to welcome me home
But, when I behold --- That Mansion of Gold
There'll be Someone --- to welcome me home.
