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
