  I'm full of pride and my heart feels good 
                        E7M 
Got news from my family up in the woods 
C#m              F#           E        B 
At last I can go back where I belong 
B                      E 
Sweated it all out for nine long years 
                     E7M            C#m 
Couldn't believe the voice in my ears 
C#m          F#                E       B 
When the man saying "no hiding ,son" 
B                  E 
So I left the only folks I had known 
                    E7M 
I was fifteen then, hardly grown 
C#m                        F#                     E    B 
When they found me in the swamp face down in the mud 
B                 E 
Couldn't get back and I couldn't go far 
                    E7M 
Said to myself stay right where you are 
C#m                 F# 
Done found yourself a ma and pa 
F#                 E         B 
Everybody said the kid's no good 
 
B                E      B 
Come home Johnny Bridie come home 
F#            B 
Johnny Bridie come home 
F# 
We're all wrong without you 
    E 
How did we ever doubt you 
B 
He confessed to the killing 
     E 
It's his role we had you filling 
B                                 E 
We didn't really mean to make you sad 
F#           E  F#            E  F# 
But when you ran you made us think 
         E  F#              E  F# 
That you were twice as bad
