G  G/F#  Em   D  C

[Verse]
      G                 C                  G   C  G  G/F#
I’ve heard love songs, make a Georgia man cry
        Em           D                   C
On the shoulder of somebody’s Saturday night
          G           C          G  C  G  G/F#
Read the good book, studied it too
       Em     D              C
But nothing prepared me for livin’ with you

[Chorus]
D           Em             C           G
Lock me up tight in these shackles I wear
Em           D            C            G
Tied up the keys in the folds of your hair
        Em           D            C
And the difference with me is I used to not care
                      G        C   G
Stockholm let me go home

[Verse]
        G        C                   G      C  G  G/F#
Once a wise man to the ways of the world
          Em            D           C
Now I’ve traded those lessons for faith in a girl
            G       C                   G      C  G  G/F#
Cross the ocean, thousand years from my home
        Em           D       C
In this frozen old city of silver and stone

[Chorus]
D             Em         C             G
Ships in the harbor and birds on the bluff
Em              D        C             G
Don’t move an inch when their anchor goes up
Em                     D       C
And the difference in me is I’m falling in love
                       G    C
Stockholm let me go home
        G       C  G
Let me go home

[Verse]
       Am       C                  G                     D
And the night so long I used to pray for the daylight to come
 Am           C                   G                                D
Folks back home surely have called off the search and gone back to their own

[Bridge]
G  G/F#  Em   D    G   G/F#   Em   D  G  G/F#

[Chorus]
D             Em         C             G
Ships in the harbor and birds on the bluff
Em              D        C             G
Don’t move an inch when their anchor goes up
Em                     D       C
And the difference in me is I’m falling in love
                       G    C
Stockholm let me go home
        G       C  G
Let me go home
              G  G/F#  Em   D  C  G
Let me go home…
