Easiest to play with a capo 1st fret.

Intro:
  


                                                                       
Streak the windows, smear the walls with coconut oil, yeah
                                                                       
Fill a cast iron kettle with water and magnolia blossoms
                           
Let it boil, let the water roll. 
                                                  
Let the fire take its toll. I'm coming home


                                                                  
Dust off the idols, give them something to eat
                                                                  
I bet they're hungry, I know I'm starving half to death
                                                               
I know you're waiting, I know you've been waiting for a long, long time 
                                                                  
and I'm coming home

                                                 
Set the table, those three extra spaces, one for 
                                     
me, one for your doubts, one for God


                                      
Let the incense burn in every room
                                                  
Feel the fullness of time in the empty tomb
                                         
Feel the future kicking in your womb
                                                                   
I'm coming home. I'm coming home

Repeat intro for a while, end on A.
