[Verse 1]
C
Lovesick, homesick,
F                C

          Am
There’s a reason all
them boys back
G             C

    C
And please don’t

      F          C

F        C
military man,
          Am
Chest out too far
 with a
G           C
drink in my hand
    C
But I’ve got folks
who like
F          C
hearing me rhyme
           Am

F       C

      C
Why’s everyone

F          C
they ain’t human?
        Am
Take me back to
green
grass and knowin’
G        C
what I’s doin
     C
‘Cuz I just need a
F            C
friend right now
Am
Sittin’ close
until the

         G
It ain’t been my
week it ain’t
F       C

      Am
And I hate to
admit I just
G        C
need you here.

[Chorus]
              F
So close your eyes
Do you think of
when
      C
you’s younger
Won’t you rest
     G
your mind
Smell that Northern
Am
Thunder
So close your
F
eyes
I pray you see
those
C
memories
The way this life
G
blackens
all the things
    Am
you used to be
              F
So close your eyes
Do you think when
      C
you’s younger
          G
Rest your mind
And smell that
         Am
Northern Thunder
Won’t you close
     F
your eyes
Think of what this
 C
used to be
The way this life
G
blackens all your
        Am
younger memories
