Verse 1

   E minorEm     G+G
The covey took wing
 D MajorD     G+G
Shotguns a singing
  C majorC      G+G      D MajorD      D MajorD
A augmentedA pointing dog down in the old logging road

 E minorEm    G+G
Danny got three
   D MajorD       G+G
And looked back a grinning
  C majorC    G+G      D MajorD     D MajorD
I fumbled around and I tried to reload

   C majorC      G+G
The country was cold
     D MajorD      G+G
With the sun westward sinking
   C majorC     G+G      D MajorD    D MajorD
It's good to be back in this place

     C majorC   G+G
With my hands around
  D MajorD      G+G
A augmentedA Belgian made Browning
  C majorC      G+G      D MajorD   D MajorD   D MajorD   D MajorD
My mind on the lines of her face


Verse 2

     E minorEm     G+G
Well now Danny's my buddy
  D MajorD      G+G
We grew up like family
 C majorC      G+G    D MajorD       D MajorD
Hunted this timber before we could drive

   E minorEm     G+G
The old English pointer
  D MajorD       G+G
He once belonged to me
    C majorC    G+G     D MajorD     D MajorD
But I gave him up when I moved in '05

 C majorC     G+G
Off to the girl
 D MajorD     G+G
Off to the city
 C majorC    G+G     D MajorD    D MajorD
Off on a wing and a chance

    C majorC         G+G
Hell I thought it'd play out
 D MajorD       G+G
Just like some story
 C majorC     G+G     D MajorD   D MajorD   D MajorD    D MajorD
We fell in love at a rodeo dance

Chorus

     G+G  G+G     C majorC    G+G
She said go on back to Cherokee County
      C majorC        G+G       D MajorD      D MajorD
Won't you crawl back with nothing but a razor and a comb
 G+G      G+G       C majorC      G+G
Babe, if you need me, I'll be where you found me
 C majorC    G+G      D MajorD       E minorEm   E minorEm   G+G   G+G
Go on to hell, honey, I'm headed home

Dan says, "Look at old Jim
  D MajorD    G+G
A augmentedA dozen Decembers
  C majorC      G+G       D MajorD    D MajorD
Behind him no worse for the wear

     E minorEm      G+G
And your time spent in Tulsa
   D MajorD       G+G
Did not help your shooting
   C majorC      G+G       D MajorD    D MajorD
And look at the gray in your hair

   C majorC      G+G
How good does it feel?
    D MajorD       G+G
You belong in these hills
   C majorC       G+G     D MajorD    D MajorD
It's best that you let it all end

        C majorC      G+G
If you'd have married that girl
      D MajorD      G+G
You'd have married her family
 C majorC      G+G     D MajorD    D MajorD    D MajorD    D MajorD
You dodged a bullet my friend"

Go on to hell, honey, I'm headed home


Verse 4

 E minorEm
I was beginning
  D MajorD
To deal with it ending
   A minorAm            G+G     D MajorD
The old dog had pointed while part of me died

    E minorEm
And a flutter of feathers
    G+G
Then a shotgun to shoulder
  C majorC       G+G     D MajorD
I thought of the Fourth of July
      C majorC      G+G     D MajorD
She'll be home on the Fourth of July
       C majorC      G+G     D MajorD
I bet we'll dance on the Fourth of July

Looks like you've still got it
 C majorC       G+G      D MajorD   D MajorD
That's what we came here to do

   C majorC      G+G
It's light enough still
    D MajorD      G+G
At the foot of the hill
     C majorC     G+G     D MajorD   D MajorD   D MajorD   D MajorD
We could kick up a single or two"
