(G)I've seen the (Am)yellow lights go (G)down the Missis(Am)sippi (G)                  (Csus2)030010
I've seen the (Am)bridges of the (G)world and they are for (Am)real (Asus2)(Am)
I've had a (F)red light off the (G)wrist 
without me (C)even (Csus2)getting (C)kissed
It (F)still seems so un(G)real

I've seen the (Am)morning in the (G)mountains of (Am)Alaska (G)
I've seen the (Am)sunset in the (G)East and in the (Am)West (Asus2)(Am)
I've sang (F)the glory that was (G)Rome
And passed the (C)Hound Dog (Csus2)singer's (C)home
It (F)still seems for the (G)best

And I'm (C)far, (C/B)far (Am)away
With my (F)head up in the (G)clouds
And I'm (C)far, (C/B)far (Am)away
With my (F)feet down in the (G)crowds
Letting (C)loose (C/B)around (Am)the world
But the (F)call of home is (E)loud
Still as (Am)loud (G)(Am)(G)(Am)(G)

I've seen the (Am)Paris lights from (G)high upon Mont(Am)martre (G)
And felt the (Am)silence hanging (G)low in No Man's (Am)Land (Asus2)(Am)
And though (F)those Spanish nights were (G)fine
It wasn't (C)only (Csus2)from the (C)wine
It (F)still seems all in (G)hand

And I'm (C)far, (C/B)far (Am)away
With my (F)head up in the (G)clouds
And I'm (C)far, (C/B)far (Am)away
With my (F)feet down in the (G)crowds
Letting (C)loose (C/B)around (Am)the world
But the (F)call of home is (E)loud
Still as (Am)loud (G)(Am)(G)(Am)(G)

(G)I've seen the (Am)yellow lights go (G)down the Missis(Am)sippi (G)
The Grand (Am)Bahama Island (G)stories carry (Am)on (Asus2)(Am)
And though those (F)aligator (G)smiles
Stay in your (C)memory (Csus2)for a (C)while
There (F)still seems more to (G)come

And I'm (C)far, (C/B)far (Am)away
With my (F)head up in the (G)clouds
And I'm (C)far, (C/B)far (Am)away
With my (F)feet down in the (G)crowds
Letting (C)loose (C/B)around (Am)the world
But the (F)call of home is (E)loud
Still as (Am)loud (G)(Am)(G)(Am)(G)

And I'm (C)far, (C/B)far (Am)away
With my (F)head up in the (G)clouds
And I'm (C)far, (C/B)far (Am)away
With my (F)feet down in the (G)crowds
Letting (C)loose (C/B)around (Am)the world
But the (F)call of home is (E)loud
Still as (Am)loud (G)(Am)(G)(Am)(G)

How to practise this song

1
Practise the barre chord F
F is a barre chord. Lay your index finger flat across all strings and press firmly; practise it on its own until every string rings clearly before you use it in the song.

Practise the change: Asus2 ↔ Am
Play each chord for 4 beats, then 2, then 1 — with the metronome at 60-70 bpm. Only push the tempo once the change is clean and on time.

Great first song
Focus on clean chords — let every string ring. Speed comes by itself once the shapes are right.
