Capo 2


Chorus 1:
D             G            A 
Wake up sweet Cherokee I'm coming home
D                     G                          A
I see the haze of the fog in the canyon where we used to roam
D               G              A
But your people didn't like my white man's ways
C              G               A 
But I love you Cherokee, don't care what they say

D                G                     A
Time is catching up with me cause I've been on the road
D                 G                      A 
I traveled way up north and then down to Mexico
D          G                      A 
If I had a nickel for the times I slept in the cold
         C              G              D     
I'd be a rich man for a while then I'd lose it all
         C              G              A
I'd be a rich man for a while then I'd lose it all


Chorus 2:
D             G            A
Wake up sweet Cherokee I'm coming home
D                     G                           A
I see the haze of the fog in the valleys where we used to roam
D                  G                          A
The nightmares and scars of the memories have gone away
G               A              D
And I think I'm coming home to stay

D               G                       A 
On the way back home through Oklahoma I had a fall
D                 G                  A
Wondered if you'd look at me or even talk at all
D                  G                A
Cause I told you I had to leave and move along
C         G                  A
It was so wrong for me to go all on my own


Chorus 3:
D             G            A
Wake up sweet Cherokee I'm coming home
D                     G                           A
I see the haze of the fog in the valleys where we used to roam
D                  G                      A
The nightmares and scars of the past have gone away
G               A              D
And I think I'm coming home to stay

G               A                         D
I love you Cherokee, don't care what they say
