Tennessee Homesick Blues

C
New York City ain't no kind of place

      F
For a country girl with a friendly 
face

       C                       
If you smile people look at you 
 G7         F       C
funny they take it wrong


The greenest state in the land of 
the free

        F
And the home of the Grand Ole Opry

   C                     G7  
Is calling me back to my Smoky 
  F        C
Mountain home



I wish I had my old fishing pole

        F
And was sitting on the banks of the 
fishing hole

       C                G7        
Eating green apples and waiting 
      F       C
for the fish to bite


Life ain't as simple as it used to 
be

      F
Since the big apple took a bite out 
of me

    C                     G7       
And Lord I'm so Tennessee homesick 
F            C
that I could die


                           F    
But I ain't been home in I don't 
      C
know when

     F                C
If I had it all to do over again

                     G7     F     
Tonight I'd sleep in my old 
  C
feather bed

                           F     
What I wouldn't give for a little 
       C
bitty taste

   F               C
Of Mama's homemade chocolate cake

                   G7           
Tennessee homesick blues running 
 F          C
through my head



Mama you can fluff my feather bed

        F
Just as soon as I can I'm gonna head

     C                G7           
Back to the Tennessee hills and it 
F         C
better be soon


Daddy you can load the rifles up

            F
We're gonna load them dogs on the 
pickup truck

    C                   G7         
And head off to Calhoun County and 
F          C
catch us a coon


                           F    
But I ain't been home in I don't 
      C
know when

     F                C
If I had it all to do over again

                     G7     F     
Tonight I'd sleep in my old 
  C
feather bed

                       F           
Eating grits and gravy and country 
C
ham

      F                     C
Go to church on Sunday with dinner 
on the grounds

                   G7              
Tennessee homesick blues are 
  F          C
running through my head


                           F    
And I ain't been home in I don't 
      C
know when

     F                C
If I had it all to do over again

Tonight I'd sleep in my old feather 
bed

     C                  F         
Good Lord have mercy on a country
