The Home by Portugal. The Man.
Lyrics by John Baldwin Gourley.
Key: 

Intro:
             4x           4x            4x       2x- 2x
Do you ever listen to the sounds that your hands make?

                               -
Did you know that we could make sounds?


Verse:
                                         
                                        
  I don't know what the palace knows, but I don't run with sheep,

                 
The shepherd can't heard me

                                               
My feet ever slow with the age that takes me, I'll slip out to the mountains

           
Where nobody knows me


Chorus:
(I'm not sure if there are any chord changes here, if there are, the chords are 
probably the same as the rest of the song.)

Gm (Let it ring)
I will make my home here 

I will make my home here

I will make my home here
                      

Verse:

                              
Grow a field of plenty to hold me tight and keep us warm

                 
from the cold that burns me

                                               
My feet ever slow with the age that takes me, I'll slip out to the mountains

           
Where nobody knows me, and

Chorus:

Gm (let it ring)
I will make my home here 

I will make my home here

I will make my home here
                      

Verse:

                                                 - 
Do you ever listen to the sounds that your hands make?

                                - 
Did you know that we could make sounds?

                                        
  I don't know what the palace knows, but I don't run with sheep,

                 
The shepherd can't heard me

                                               
My feet ever slow with the age that takes me, I'll slip out to the mountains

           
Where nobody knows me

Chorus:

I will make my home here


I will make my home here


I will make my home here

             
(I will make my home here)

Repeat ONCE.

Bridge: (fingerpick this part somehow, it sounds good just plucking the notes of 
the powerchord for each chord, then gradually building up.)

                                       
I know that I was fine before (fine before, fine before)

                                       
I know that I was fine before (fine before, fine before)

                                       
I know that I was fine before (fine before, fine before)

                                       
I know that I was fine before (fine before, fine before)
