Tennessee 1949

 A              D              
I wonder if it's  rainin' in the 
   A
mountains
                    D           
I wonder how the  old town looks 
     A
to--day
     D                           
And if the church is there beside 
       A
the river
       B7                         
Could I go back and find where mama 
E
lay

     A                  D      
Does life still go to sleep just 
           A
after sunset
                           A7      
Are the berries still as big on the
   D
 vine
Do old men sit and talk about the 
  A
old days
                      E     
The way they did in nineteen 
        A
forty-nine

Chorus
     A7      D
Oh Oh, Oh how I'd like to be
 A                     E      E7
Back in the hills of Tennessee
 A          D
Oh Oh, Oh it would be so fine
    A                E            
If I could just go  back to 
    A
nineteen forty-nine

     A              D          
I wonder if by chance they might 
     A
remember
                    D            A
A teenage boy so wild and fancy free
     D                             
Who always loved guitars and 
     A
country music
       B7                         
If I went back would they remember 
E
me

     A           D            
I wonder what became of Kathryn 
     A
Ackers
                       A7     
The girl who broke my heart at 
    D
seventeen
I barely can remember what she looks
A
 like
              E             A
Thirty years ago she was my dream

Chorus
     A7      D
Oh Oh, Oh how I'd like to be
 A                     E      E7
Back in the hills of Tennessee
 A          D
Oh Oh, Oh it would be so fine
    A                E            
If I could just go  back to 
    A
nineteen forty-nine


     A              D          
For many years I've searched the 
            A
wide world over
                    D            A
For what I don't recall and didn't 
find
      D                            
And now I'm searching pictures in 
      A
my memory
                  E             A
For Tennessee in nineteen forty nine

Chorus
     A7      D
Oh Oh, Oh how I'd like to be
 A                     E      E7
Back in the hills of Tennessee
 A          D
Oh Oh, Oh it would be so fine
    A                E            
If I could just go  back to 
    A
nineteen forty-nine
