Tennessee Girl

G                        C       
Well I left home at a crack of 
   D7           G
dawn just about a year ago
G                           C    
I thumbed my way cross the USA 
      D7                    G
and I learned a lot I didn't know
G                         C      
The Promised Land that I thought 
              D7                 G
I'd find was always just ahead of me
G                     C          
Until one day when I realized I 
D7                 G
left it back in Tennessee


[Chorus]

G                                 
And that's why I'm going back to 
     D7
my Tennessee girl
       C                G
And a Tennessee way of life
                      D7
And I'm gonna ask my Tennessee girl
    C               G
To be my Tennessee wife

G                      C    
Tonight I slept in a hobo camp 
        D7                 G
workin' out like dog by day
G                      C         
I never got enough to get ahead 
    D7                 G
just enough to make my way
G                       C        
Cold and tired when the evening 
      D7                 G
come all I had to ease my mind
G                           
Was thinkin' bout the place I 
  C                     D7     
started from and the girl that I 
          G
left behind


[Chorus]

G                                 
And that's why I'm going back to 
     D7
my Tennessee girl
       C                G
And a Tennessee way of life
                      D7
And I'm gonna ask my Tennessee girl
    C               G
To be my Tennessee wife


[Verse 3]

G                             C  
There ain't no place that I been 
        D7                     G
at all that I was gonna settle in
G                       C        
And every town that I travel 
             D7            G
through made me wanna go home again
G                           
The green green grass and the 
   C             D7               
rollin' hills seem to keep a 
    G
callin' me
G                       C        
Back to the place where I was 
           D7                 G
born and the girl that I long to see


[Chorus]

G                                 
And that's why I'm going back to 
     D7
my Tennessee girl
       C                G
And a Tennessee way of life
                      D7
And I'm gonna ask my Tennessee girl
    C               G
To be my Tennessee wife
