Chorus:
E                   B
Come home, it's a brand new day
A               B                 E
Come home, my Sherri, Sherri runaway
                    B
Come on, there's a devil to pay
A               B                 E
Come home, my Sherri, Sherri runaway

         A
Sherri's on the run
        E               A
'Cause no one seems to listen
E                  A
There's something deep inside
E                     A
Heartfelt that she's missing
E            A
They are not in your shoes
E                  A
They are not you, poor fools
F#m
You know it's a world of confusion
    B
All usin' and self-abusin', so

Chorus:
Come home, it's a brand new day
Come home, my Sherri, Sherri runaway
Come on, there's a devil to pay
Come home, my Sherri, Sherri runaway

When I'm out having fun
The whole world seems to glisten
She said, "There's a fire going on
The choppers ain't detecting"
She said, "We have such simple views
So I must see inside of you"
Now that my world is changing
C'mon back, I should be celebrating, so

Chorus:
Come home, it's a brand new day
Come home, my Sherri, Sherri runaway
Come on, there's a devil to pay
Come home, my Sherri, Sherri runaway

                B
Duckin' in and out
 A                   B
Hiding from authority
 A            B
Sittin' in a wayside home
I said, "Come back to me"

Duckin' in and out
Hiding from authority
Sittin' in a wayside home
I said come back to me

Chorus:
Come home, it's a brand new day
Come home, my Sherri, Sherri runaway
Come on, there's a devil to pay
Come home, my Sherri, Sherri runaway

                    B
This is a day in a life as it happens
A              B
Play by play, minute by minute
E                   B
This is the way of life as it happens
A            B
Day by day, hour by hour

Chorus:
Come home, it's a brand new day
Come home, my Sherri, Sherri runaway
Come on, there's a devil to pay
Come home, my Sherri, Sherri runaway

Sherri runaway
Sherri runaway
Sherri runaway
Sherri run
Come home
There's a brand new
Brand new day
