Home is where the Hatred is
(Gil Scott-Heron)
From the 1972 Album "Pieces of a Man"
Gil scott-herons' version is in Dm
Esther Phillips' is Em, and has funky horns.
(Please note, these chords are my
interpretation of the overall
arrangement of the original song,
and should be approached as such).

Intro
>>>
/
Junky walking thru the twilight
I'm on my way home
I Left 3 days ago
But no-ne seems to know i'm gone
Home is where the hatred is
Home is filled with pain
and it might not be such a bad idea
if i never went home again...
/9
Stand as far away from me as you can and ask me why
/9
Hang on to your rosary beads, close your eyes to watch me die
/9
You keep saying "kick it, quit it" but did you ever try?
To turn you sick soul out inside out
So that the world, So that the world can watch you die
break>>>>>>>>>>
Home is where I live inside
My white powder dreams
Home was once an empty vacuum,
thats filled now with my silent screams
Home is where the needle marks
Try to heal my broken heart
and it might not be such a bad idea
if i never went home again...
