[G][C][G][C][G][D]
[G][C][G][C][G][D]
[Em][G]

[Verse 1]
The [Em]covey took [G]wing
[D]Shotguns a [G]singing
A [C]pointing dog [G]down
in the [D]old logging road
[Em]Danny got [G]three
And [D]looked back a [G]grinning
I [C]fumbled a[G]round
and I [D]tried to reload
The [C]country was [G]cold
With the [D]sun westward [G]sinking
It's [C]good to be [G]back in this [D]place
With my [C]hands a[G]round
A [D]Belgian made [G]Browning
My [C]mind on the [G]lines of her [D]face

[Verse 2]
Well now [Em]Danny's my [G]buddy
We [D]grew up like [G]family
[C]Hunted this [G]timber
be[D]fore we could drive
The [Em]old English [G]pointer
He [D]once belonged [G]to me
But [C]I gave him u[G]p
when I [D]moved in '05
[C]Off with the [G]girl
[D]Off to the [G]city
[C]Off on a [G]wing and a [D]chance
Hell I [C]thought it'd play [G]out
[D]Just like some [G]story
[C]We fell in [G]love at a [D]ro deo dance

[Chorus 1]
She said [G]go on back to [C]Cherokee [G]County
Won't you [C]crawl back with [G]nothing
but a [D]razor and a comb
[G]Babe, if you need me,
I'll [C]be where you [G]found me
[C]Go on to [G]hell, honey,
[D]I'm headed [Em]home[G]

[Verse 3]
Dan says, [Em]"Look at old [G]Jim
A [D]dozen De[G]cembers
Be[C]hind him no [G]worse
for the [D]wear
And your [Em]time spent in [G]Tulsa
Did [D]not help your [G]shooting
And [C]look at the [G]gray in your [D]hair
How [C]good does it [G]feel?
You be[D]long in these [G]hills
It's [C]best that you [G]let it all [D]end
If you'd have [C]married that [G]girl
You'd have [D]married her [G]fa mily
[C]You dodged a [G]bullet my [D]friend"

[Chorus 2]
She said [G]go on back to [C]Cherokee [G]County
Won't you [C]crawl back with [G]nothing
but a [D]razor and a comb
[G]Babe, if you need me,
I'll [C]be where you [G]found me
[C]Go on to [G]hell, honey,
[D]I'm headed [Em]home[G]

[Bridge 1]
[Em]I was beginning
To [D]deal with it ending
The [Am]old dog had pointed
while [Em]part of me [D]died[D]
And a [Em]flutter of feathers
Then a [G]shotgun to shoulder
I [C]thought of the [G]Fourth of Ju[D]ly
She'll be [C]home on the [G]Fourth of Ju[D]ly
I bet we'll [C]dance on the [G]Fourth of Ju[D]ly

[Em][G][G]

[Verse 4]
Dan says, [C]"Hell of a [G]shot
Looks [D]like you've still [G]got it
[C]That's what we [G]came here to [D]do
Well, it's [C]light enough [G]still
At the [D]foot of the [G]hill
We could [C]kick up a [G]single or [D]two"

[Chorus 3]
She said [G]go on back to [C]Cherokee [G]County
Won't you [C]crawl back with [G]nothing
but a [D]razor and a comb
[G]Babe, if you need me,
I'll [C]be where you [G]found me
[C]Go on to [G]hell, honey,
[D]I'm headed [G]home
[C]Go on to [G]hell, honey,
[D]I'm headed [Em]home[G]
