Sycamore Creek chords by Radney Foster

Intro:
D G D G

Verse 1:
D
I can see her in that water
A
Church dress hung up in a tree
B             A          G
Splashing flirtin' laughin', teasin' me
D
That afternoon of secrets
A
Swimming naked in a pool of dreams
B
Last high school summer dripping
A              G
dry by Sycamore Creek

Pre-Chorus:
E
She kissed me one last time
A
Headin' home
E
And I'm still haunted by what she said
        A
When I'm alone

Chorus:
       D
She said you got a chance to be
A
Free of all this small town strings
B
That tie the rest of us down
G
She said boy quit your hanging around
D
Take that guitar and run
A
Faster than the setting sun
B                  A
You can write a song later about my
G
memory

You can always come back
              A
You can always come back
          D
To Sycamore Creek

Verse 2:
D
Well the guitar made the magic
A
And I just hung on for the ride
B                    A
I walked amongst giants played
             G
with 🏷Legends side by side
D
She came to see me in New Orleans
A
And on a tour bus after the show
B                   A
I kissed goodbye to the one I never
G
shoulda let go

Chorus:

D
She said you got a chance to be
A
So wild on those guitar strings
B
Stage lights in every town
G
So head up when you're hanging around
D
Take that guitar and run
A
Faster than the setting sun
B                        A
You can write a song later about my
G
memory

You can always come back

You can always come back
      D
To Sycamore Creek

Well I knew she'd gotten married.

But he played tight end the year
           G
that we won district

It got bad and it got ugly
A
Through tears one night she called
B                   A
I drove ten hours to the water

I couldn't resist it

Chorus:

Free of all these small town strings

Cut the ties that keep you down

She soaked my shirt crying over

No never come back
