Charley Pride - Tennessee Girl guitar chord

Tennessee Girl

By Charlie Pride

Capo 1

C F G C

Well I left home at a crack of dawn just about a year ago

C F G C

I thumbed my way cross the USA and I learned a lot I didn't know

C F G C

The Promised Land that I thought I'd find was always just ahead of me

C F G C

Until one day when I realized I left it back in Tennessee

C G

And that's why I'm going back to my Tennessee girl

F C

And a Tennessee way of life

C G

And I'm gonna ask my Tennessee girl

F C

To be my Tennessee wife

By night I slept in a hobo camp workin' odd jobs by day

I never got enough to get ahead just enough to make my way

Cold and tired when the evening come all I had to ease my mind

Was thinkin' bout the place I started from and the girl that I left behind

Chorus

Key change

D G A D

There ain't no place that I been at all that I would gonna settle in

D G A D

And every town that I travel through made me wanna go home again

D G A D

The green green grass and the rollin' hills seems to keep a callin' me

D G A D

Back to the place where I was born and the girl that I long to see

Chorus
