[G] [G/F#] [Em] [D] [C]
Verse
I’ve [G]heard love songs, [C]make a Georgia man [G][C][G]cry[G/F#]
On the [Em]shoulder of [D]somebody’s Saturday [C]night

But [Em]nothing [D]prepared me for [C]livin’ with you
Chorus
[D]Lock me up [Em]tight in these [C]shackles I [G]wear

Stockholm let me go [G]home[G][C]

Once a [G]wise man [C]to the ways of the [G][C]world[G/F#][G]
Now I’ve [Em]traded those [D]lessons for [C]faith in a girl

In this [Em]frozen old [D]city of [C]silver and stone
Chorus
[D]Ships in the [Em]harbor and [C]birds on the [G]bluff
[Em]Don’t move an [D]inch when [C]their anchor [G]goes up
[Em]And the difference in [D]me is I’m[C] falling in love
Stockholm let me go [G]home[C]
Let me [G]go [C]home[G]
Verse
And the[Am] night so[C] long I used to [G]pray for the daylight to [D]come
[Am]Folks back [C]home surely have called[G] off the search and gone back to [D]their
own
