[Verse 1]
G            D
Baby had a smile
  A                    D
Stretched from ear to ear
 G                   D
She'd been counting down the days
 A               D       G
Friday night was almost here
D             G   D
Baby's first homecoming

[Verse 2]
 G               D
Daddy took her shopping
    A                 D
To find the perfect dress
        G          D
Like a model on a runway
    D
He watched her twirl
 D
Said, "My girl
        G              A
You're growing up too fast
     D         G   D
Not ready for homecoming"


[Interlude]

[Chorus]
           G
There she goes
           D
There she goes

[Verse 3]
         G                D
She was driving down the highway
           A                 D
Probably dreaming 'bout her date
 G              D
Lost control around a curve
    D
And everything would change
    G         D
On September 28
                  G   D        A D
The night before homecoming


[Verse 4]
       G                 D
Next thing the doctor's saying
         A               G
"There's nothing we can do"
 G                 D
Family falls down praying
            D               D
Right there in the waiting room
     G             D
God say, it isn't true
              G     D       A D
All of their tears running


[Chorus]
           G
There she goes
           D    G D A D
There she goes
           G
There she goes
           D    G D A D
There she goes


[Bridge]
      Bm
They laid her to rest
         G
In that pretty red dress
              D
I swear the clouds rolled away
          A
When her mama stood to say,
               G   D
"This was her homecoming"

[Verse 5]
          G               D
Well the way I'll always see it
     A                D
You said goodbye too soon
      G                    D
But these days you're the reason
                D
Why I'm living like I know
       G
We're all just passing through
        D          G   D      A D
On the way to our homecoming
                   G   D      A D
On the way to our homecoming
     G   D       A D
Our homecoming


[Outro]

Welcome home
