TENNESSEE JED - GRATEFUL DEAD

Co7: x3x242 Dm7: x00211 C7: 3x2310

C G C G C

C G C

Cold iron shackles, ball and chain.

Drink all day and rock all night.

I run into Charlie Fog.

F G C G C

Listen to the whistle of the evenin' train.

The law come to get you if you don't walk right.

Blacked my eye and he kicked my dog.

C Co7 Dm7 C7

You know you bound to wind up dead

Got a letter this mornin', baby and all it read:

My doggie turned to me and he said.

C F G C G C

if you don't head back to Tennessee Jed.

"You better head back to Tennessee Jed."

"Let's head back to Tennesse Jed."

C G C

Rich man step on my poor head.

I dropped four flights and cracked my spine.

I woke up feelin' mean.

F G C G C

When you get back, you better butter my bread.

Honey, come quick with the iodine.

I went down to play the slot machine.

Co7 Dm7 C7

Well you know it's like I said:

Catch a few winks, baby, under the bed.

The wheels turned around and the letters read,

C F G C

you better head back to Tennessee Jed.

Then you head back to Tennessee Jed.

"You better head back to Tennessee Jed."

Bb F G C

F C G F

Tennessee, Tennessee, there ain't no place I'd rather be.

C G F

Baby won't you carry me

C G F G C

back to Tennessee.
