Down In Tennessee

C                C/Bb            
I talked to your sister last 
         Am7          Am7/F#
night on the telephone
C            C/Bb                 
You know she always thought pretty
 Am7           F
 well of me
C             C/Bb               
She said your weddin’ went fine, 
         Am7                    
you were up in New York on your 
Am7/F#
honeymoon
C     C/Bb      Am  F
And tonight I'm down    in Tennessee


[Verse 2]
C            C/Bb             
  I got that letter you wrote,
Am7              Am7/F#
  it tore me up
C       C/Bb                  
  But I don’t have anyone to 
Am7           F
blame but me
C           C/Bb                 
  I had it all for a while but 
   Am7             Am7/F#
like everything else,   I messed it 
up
C         C/Bb         Am7 F
   And tonight I’m down      in 
Tennessee
