This is an easier way to play the song. It is not in the recorded key

so you really can’t play along with it. They must have tuned down when

recording this. The lead picking is walking down in this case from D to G

and that’s what those weird chords are. The letter after the “/” is the

bass note to play.

D/C – X3023X

D/B - X2023X

D/A - X00232

D D/C D/B D/A

I talked to your sister last night on the telephone

D D/C D/B G

You know she always thought pretty well of me

D D/C D/B D/A

She said your weddin’ went fine, you were up in New York on your honeymoon

D D/C D/B D/A G D

And tonight I'm down in Tennessee

I got that letter you wrote, it tore me up

But I don’t have anyone to blame but me

I had it all for a while but like everything else, I messed it up

And that’s why I’m down in Tennessee

Chorus:

G Em G

It’s blue tonight and gettin’ bluer

D G D

But I’m in the state that I deserve to be

G A Bm G D

Without you I just can’t see, things ever lookin’ up for me-e-e-e

C C G D

I’m so down in Tennessee

I hope you’re happy with him, he’s a lucky man

I hope he gives you that home and family

I wanna say if by chance you are ever this a-way, look me up

Cause I’ll be down in Tennessee

Chorus

I’m so down in Tennessee

I’m gonna be down in Tennessee
