[instrumental] F F There's a road ahead and a road behind G A A All roads lead to home this time She's a homeward looking angel and she's feeling mighty tired She went gunning for glory but her bullets all misfired And that girl looking back in the mirror, lord, made such a mess of things And she's leaving in the morning soon as she can find her wings Soon as she can find her wings, oh oh ohh-ohhh Homeward looking angel [instrumental & ad lib vocals; repeat and fade on G G F F etc.] TAB: (This is the low riff that's played after the first chorus and in the fade-out.)
