I play To Go Home in dropped D. Opens with a fully strummed D chord...and then i play the ascending part like this:

 

e -x- x- x- 3--------------

B -3- 5- 7- x--------------

G -4- 4- 4- 4-------------

D (5)(5)(5)(5)-------------

A -x- x- x- x---------------

D -5- 5- 5- 5----------------------

 

Obviously you need to strum it in rhythm but thats the fingerings i use, that 7 on the B may be a bit of a reach with the pinkie so you can play it as 2 on e.

 

The rest of the song is pretty easy. The only chords used are D A and G. Id do it all out but my roomate is sleeping and i cant play anything. Hope what i tabbedmakes sense.

huh?

 

 

I take it by the 'huh' response you'd appreciate a basic bare bones version of how you might play it, which would be a little something like this.

 

 

 

(D) Hope it be my mind don't slip

(A) Sailing on a sinking ship

(G) Into the sunset and (D) back

 

(D) Dark night on a long highway

(A) Little lights in the houses say

(G) Somebody's staying up (D) late

 

(G) I'll be (A) true to you, oh (D) yeah you know I (G) will

(G) I'll be (A) true to you, for (D) ever or un (G) til

I go (D) home

 

(D) God it's great to be alive

(A) Takes the skin right off my hide

To (G) think I'll have to give it all up some (D) day

 

And (D) if I ever treated you mean

You (A) know that it was only because

I'm (G) sorry I couldn't have you for my (D) own

 

 

And so on.... hope that helps in some way?

 

As already said above, the whole song is based around (D) (A) and (G) and as M Ward has an understandable love of open D I'm sure that's what he plays it in and the chords above are correct but this way's a touch simpler.
