Lyrics

Look ing out of my (F#)win dow pane, tears min gl ing (E)with the rain, I’m so lone some (F#)I could cry, (G#m)just like old Hank.

Star ing down on the (F#)ci ty street,

feel ing emp ty and (E)in com plete, there’s a place I (F#)need to be to (G#m)fill my tank.

A place I can go where I can be free, where I can be hap py and just be me.

Home,

where the (G#m)warm winds blow ing and the (E)riv ers flow ing a long.

Home,

like a (G#m)la zy bum in the (E)mid day sun.

And I’m gone,

fish ing with my pole at the (E)fish ing hole.

Where I can lay down my heav y load, and (F#)know that I am al ways (CN.C.)wel come home.

I left home I was se (F#)ven teen.

I had a lot of (E)am bi tious dreams.

Seen a lot of (F#)those come true, (G#m)I had good luck.

I ain’t com plain ing, (F#)that’s for sure.

I got a lot to be (E)thank ful for.

One of those things (F#)is mag ic door that (G#m)o pens up.

Back to the time when was a kid, to the sounds of the crick ets the ka ty dids, (CN.C.)it’s called…

on (G#m)front porch swing (E)fern pots hang ing.

where the (G#m)church bells ring and (E)voic es sing ing old, old

that mend my mind like a (E)stitch in time.

Where the tea is sweet and the love com plete, (F#)know that I am al ways (CN.C.)wel come home.

(F#)oh, oh, me, I wan na go home.

I of ten think a bout (B)where I have (F#)been,

(C#m)where I am go ing and (E)that’s a bout (F#)when I think a bout… Home,

where the (G#m)soul finds com fort and the (E)heart finds plea sure.

Home,

where the (G#m)depths of love is hard to mea sure.

It’s home,

I (G#m)hear you call in’, I (E)hear you call in’.

I’ll nev er be lost as long as I know there’s a (F#)place like that where I can go.

Where (E)I can re store my wear y soul on the (F#)moun tain slopes on the soft blue smoke of home.

Home, sweet (B)home.

Home,

back to the hills of the (E)whirl poor wills.

And home,

with the (G#m)fire flies blink ing and the (E)night stars blink ing.

Home,

hon ey suck le vine and mus ca det wine at home,

where the (G#m)gin seng glows and the (E)Chev y goes, oh.

Home

with fam ’ly and friends and joy that nev er ends.

Home,

there’s (G#m)no place like it, (E)no place like it, (Bsus2)home.

About “Home

Is the engraved accompaniment score for "Home" suitable for a pianist?
Yes — both hands are notated in classic piano notation (treble + bass clefs, key B, real chord symbols), engraved server-side from the publisher MusicXML. A staff pianist or accompanist can read this directly from the screen or printed PDF and play the backing while you sing the melody.
What key is the piano accompaniment for "Home" by Dolly Parton in?
The backing track is in B at 95 BPM. If that doesn't sit in your vocal range, use the live transpose control to shift up or down semitones — the accompaniment moves with the new key automatically.
Can I sing over "Home" with this accompaniment?
Yes — that's exactly what it's built for. The vocal melody is muted by default so you can sing freely. Need a pitch reference? Tap the mic icon to bring the melody back in at a lower volume.
Is this a karaoke version of "Home"?
Effectively yes — it's the piano-only backing for "Home", with no vocals. You can also slow it down to practice tricky verses, then bring it back to full tempo.
Can I use "Home" as a backing track for my instrument?
Absolutely. Singers, guitarists, violinists, wind players, and instrumental practice in general all work — the piano holds the harmony so you can carry the melody on whatever instrument you play.
Can I download the accompaniment for "Home"?
Yes — registered users can download MIDI + MusicXML (open in any notation software). PDF sheet music is also available for the full arrangement.
Who wrote "Home"?
"Home" was originally performed by Dolly Parton. This piano accompaniment is an arrangement of that song, designed for sing-along and play-along use.
What other backing tracks by Dolly Parton are available?
Other accompaniments by Dolly Parton: "Blue Smoke", "Coat Of Many Colors", "Here You Come Again". Same toggle-the-melody, change-the-key setup.
What is this accompaniment Sheet Music view?
Same engraver-grade rendering as the standard Sheet Music mode — both hands, classic piano notation, key of B, real chord symbols — but the audio is the karaoke / backing-track arrangement of "Home" with the lead melody removed. Perfect for singers, lead instruments, and ensemble practice.
Can I sing or play melody while the score follows along?
Yes. The backing track removes the melody so you can sing or play it on top while the chord changes and rhythm guide you. The engraved score scrolls in time with the audio so you never lose your place.
Is this the same notation a piano book would show?
Yes — treble + bass clefs, key signature, time signature, beams, dynamics, and chord symbols above the staff, all rendered from the original publisher MusicXML. Identical reading experience to a printed piano accompaniment book.
