tune down half a step

some of the chords were missing or wrong in the other versions , so i thought i’d submit
version with some important changes .

i never saw my hometown until i stayed away too long
C D C D G
i never heard the melody , until i needed a song .

G C D G
G C D G

i never saw the white line , ’til i was leaving you behind
i never knew i needed you ’til i was caught up in a bind
i never spoke ’i love you’ ’til i cursed you in vain ,
i never felt my heartstrings until i nearly went insane .

i never saw the east coast ’til i move to the west
i never saw the moonlight until it shone off your breast
i never saw your heart ’til someone tried to steal , tried to steal it away
i never saw your tears until they rolled down your face .

i never saw the morning ’til i stayed up all night
i never saw the sunshine ’til you turned out your love light , baby
i never saw my hometown ’til i stayed away too long
i never heard the melody until i needed the song
