Tuned down 1/2-step
Comments: The bass doesn't do much here, just plays some octaves and roots,
but when it does depart from following the guitars it makes it that much
stronger. The tension that's created when the bass steps away from the
root (usually with some cool chromatics) adds that little bit if fresh air
that carries an otherwise pretty mundane chord progression forward. (Gene
had a tendency to use chromatic connecting phrases like this during the
early years. When he didn't much play during the 80's they were notably
absent.)

COMIN' HOME

[Rhy. Fig 1 w/ End 1] (2x)
It's been a month or two since I was sleepin' with you
I'm comin' home again
I've been to east and west, but baby I like best
The road that leads to you
[Rhy. Fig 3]
Oh girl, it seems the whole wide world seems to say
[Rhy. Fig 2] (2x)
Hotels that all look the same
Just seem to drive me insane
But I can't get away
Until I receive a call that tells me that will be all
And then I hop a plane
[Rhy. Fig 3]
It's true, I'm not sure if you knew
I'm comin' home to you
