Verse 1
I had a good life
Before you came
I had my friends and my freedom
I had my name
Still there was sorrow and emptiness
'Til you made me glad
Oh, in this love I found strength I never knew I had
Chorus
And this love
Is like nothing I have ever known
Take my hand, love
I'm taking you home
Taking you home
Verse 2
There were days, lonely days
When the world wouldn't throw me a crumb
But I kept on believing
That this day would come
Chorus 2
And this love
Is like nothing I have ever known
Take my hand, love
I'm taking you home
I'm taking you home
Bridge
Where we can be with the ones who really care
Home, where we can grow together
Keep you in my heart forever
Chorus
And this love
Is like nothing I have ever known
Take my hand
Taking you home
I’m taking you home
Yes I am
Taking you home (Taking you home)
Taking you home (fade)
The tuning on this album version is about 3 cent above
standard concert tuning.
In order to play this song with the recording, it will
be necessary to sharpen the tuning on all 6 strings slightly.
I have included to fingerings for the G major chord. The second
one, a barre chord, is intended to be used with the Gsus that
precedes it.
This is my interpretation of the song and is what I hear. Since
U-G doesn't always include the correct chord voicings, I have
included all of them in this transcription. Please feel free to
experiment with your own chord voicings.
