Chattanooga Chords & Lyrics - Misc Your Songs - Eric Shaw

[VERSE 1]
[G]Driving up the mountain, stepping to the edge
[Em]I can see seven states, standing in one place
It's [C]been a while since I felt
The [D]peace that only comes from coming [G]home
[G]I can see the downtown lights and the river winding through
The [Em]little red church in the valley where I first learned the truth
And I'm [C]flooded with the memories I t[D]hought that I'd forgotten long [G]ago

[VERSE 2]
[G]Football games on Friday night
Driving [Em]backroads in the moonlight
We t[C]hought that we were grown
We were j[D]ust fine getting by with what we d[G]idn't know
[G]June nights on the Riverbend
Drinking [Em]warm beers that we snuck in
Watching my [C]heroes on the stage, sw[D]earing to myself that would be [G]me one day

[CHORUS]
On the [Em]banks of the Tennessee
In the [G]shadow of the pine trees
It's where [D]I learned who I am
How to w[C]alk how to be a man
You know that's [G]home to me
I never th[Em]ought that I could leave
But this p[G]lan ain't always up to me
The r[D]oad of life may change but the roots we plant don't fade
I can a[C]lways find my way
To Chatta[G]nooga

[BRIDGE]
I've walked th[Am]e New York City Streets
I've seen the g[G/B]iant redwood trees
I've s[C]tared out from the beaches of Mex[D]ico
I've stood in a[Am]we of the Vegas lights
And a [G/B]blue Montana sky
But there's o[C]nly one place that's burned deep in my s[D]oul
The only p[C]lace that I call home
Chatta[G]nooga

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[G] [Em] [C] [G] (x2)

[CHORUS]
On the [Em]banks of the Tennessee
In the [G]shadow of the pine trees
It's where [D]I learned who I am
How to w[C]alk how to be a man
You know that's [G]home to me
I never th[Em]ought that I could leave
But this p[G]lan ain't always up to me
The r[D]oad of life may change but the roots we plant don't fade
I can a[C]lways find my way
To Chatta[G]nooga
