Chords

[Verse 1]
        C                         G/B
Highway signs roll by like memories in the dark,

        Am7                               F
I’ve been gone too long, still carry home inside my heart.

        C                               G/B
River mist in the morning, I swear I smell it in the breeze,

        Am7                                    F
And that Cherokee sunrise feels like it’s calling back to me.
[Pre-Chorus]
        Am7                 F
I left chasing something bigger,

        C                     G
But the road’s been running me,

        Am7                   F
Now the closer that I’m getting,

        G                     G
The more I finally breathe.
[Chorus]
        C                        G
I’m heading back home to Tahlequah,

        Am7                          F
Where the nights fall soft and slow,

        C                     G
Where the Illinois River sings me songs

        F                          G
That nobody else could know.

        C                        G
Got red dirt on my memories,

        Am7                       F
And peace in every flaw—

        C                    G
Yeah, I’m on my way,

        F                       G
Back home to Tahlequah.
[Verse 2]
        C                              G/B
Momma’s porch light glowing like it never gave up hope,

        Am7                                F
Old friends waiting on me down the bend of that gravel road.

        C                               G/B
I’ve seen neon cities shining, but none ever felt like mine,

        Am7                                    F
‘Cause home is where the stories stay set in Oklahoma time.
[Pre-Chorus]
        Am7                F
I’ve been running from the quiet,

        C                    G
Now it’s the sound I crave,

        Am7                       F
And I’m ready for tomorrow

        G                    G
On the streets that raised my name.
[Chorus]
        C                        G
I’m heading back home to Tahlequah,

        Am7                          F
Where the nights fall soft and slow,

        C                     G
Where the Illinois River sings me songs

        F                          G
That nobody else could know.

        C                        G
Got red dirt on my memories,

        Am7                       F
And peace in every flaw—

        C                    G
Yeah, I’m on my way,

        F                       G
Back home to Tahlequah.
[Bridge]
        Am7                       F
Maybe leaving made me realize

        C                           G
You can lose yourself in crowds,

        Am7                         F
But the moment home comes into view

        G                     G
The world just settles down.
(Final Chorus)
        C                        G
I’m heading back home to Tahlequah,

        Am7                          F
Where my heart’s been all along,

        C                     G
Where cicadas hum the summer nights

        F                          G
And every mile feels like a song.

        C                         G
I got roots that won’t stop growing,

        Am7                       F
And dreams that still stand tall—

        C                    G
So I’m going home,

        F                       G
Back home to Tahlequah.
