Song: When You Comin' Home 
By:   Gretchen Peters with Jimmy LaFave

{ capo fret 1 }

Intro:   |C  |   |Am  |   |Dm  |   |C  |   |    {same as verse}

[verse: 1]  {Gretchen}
C 
Some old ships they sail, some old ships they sink
Am  
Cause you got a bottle, don’t mean you have to drink
Dm                                                       C
When you coming home baby, when you coming back to your girl

[verse: 2]  {Jimmy}
C         
I been on the east side waiting for your call
Am                               
I’ve been working corners, when I work at all
Dm                                                       C
When you coming home baby, when you coming back to your girl

[chorus:]  {together}
             Am    G    F   Am  G  
Cause these walls are clos--ing in
              Am  G   F   Am  G    {let ring}
And your old coat is way too thin


[verse: 3]
C   {Jimmy}
Billy on the corner, he’s still taking bets
Am  {Gretchen}
But I don’t like to gamble on things that I can’t get
Dm  {together}                                           C
When you coming home baby, when you coming back to your girl

[solo: guitar]  |C  |   |Am  |   |Dm  |   |C  |   |    {same as verse}

[chorus:]  {together}
         Am   G     F    Am   G
Now the win--ter’s clos--ing in
              Am  G   F   Am  G    {let ring}
And your old coat is way too thin

[verse: 4]
C  {Gretchen}
Banging on the ceiling, banging on the floor
Am  {Jimmy}
Waterpipes are freezing and my key don’t fit the door
Dm                                                       C
When you coming home baby, when you coming back to your girl

[coda:]
Dm                                                       C
When you coming home baby, when you coming back to your girl
Dm                                                      |C     |C    {finish |
When you coming home baby, when you coming back to your girl
