  C7    F7  
I met a man who lives in Tennessee, 

   Dm7       G7    CM7

Pennsylvania, and some home-made pumpkin pie;

             F
From Pennsylvania, folks are travlin' down 

    Dm7     G7        CM7
To Dixie's friendly shores;

        G           Am    D7        G7    Gdim   Dm7
From Atlantic to Pacific, gee, the traffic is terrific.

Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays,

G7         C    Dm7   F          G7sus4   G7
'Cause no matter how far away you roam,

G7     C           F          C 
If you want to be happy in a million ways,


First time:

D7       G7           Dm7        G7           C
For the holidays, you can't beat home sweet home.

For the holidays, you can't beat home sweet home.
