Verse 1
 
I've travelled the land
        
With a guitar in my hand
                            with Riff 
And an eye ever open for some fun
(Riff )

I've made some mistakes
       
Had my share of the breaks
                                   
Seen the boys on the make and on the bum

Chorus
                         
Run for home, run as fast as I can
                               with riff 
Oh oh running man, running for home
                         
Run for home, run as fast as I can
                               with riff 
Oh oh running man, running for home

Verse 2

I've seen all the frowns
       
On the faces of the clowns
                                      with riff 
And the downs that they take just to be free

And I've seen all the girls
         
In their pretty frocks and curls
                           
But they don't mean alot to me

Short Chorus (and key change)
                         
Run for home, run as fast as I can
                                     
Oh oh running man, running for home 
(Key change)           

Verse 3
                          
I've been to the places in town
                                
Where the faces hang 'round
        E             A with riff B (2 frets up)
Just to stare at each other

I've looned with them, screamed at the moon
                                    
Behaved like a buffoon but I soon discovered

Chorus
                         
Run for home, run as fast as I can
                              
Oh oh running man, running for home
                         
Run for home, run as fast as I can
                              
Oh oh running man, running for home

Vocal Harmony Chorus (No Guitar!)
()                       ()
Run for home, run as fast as I can
      ()                      ()
Oh oh running man, running for home

  

                            
I've travelled the land Made mistakes out of hand
(Run for home, run as fast   as I can)
                                     
Seen the faces in the places misunderstand
(Oh  oh  running man,     running for home)

                                       
Yes I've travelled the world Seen those pretty boys and girls
(Run for home       run as fast        as I can)
                                     
Heard the noise that destroys and commands
(Oh  oh  running man,     running for home)

Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh oh running man, running for home
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh oh running man, running for home
