Robert Earl Keen - Leavin' Tennessee guitar chord

Leavin' Tennessee

Robert Earl Keen

Capo 3

D G

The sun is settin’ on our time living here

D G

You’ve lost the will, I’ve lost the heart

D G

We should be leavin’ while the coast is still clear

D G

Cause we won’t make it after dawn

Em G D

We can cash in our chips and pack up the car

Em G A

Lock up the door and hide the key

Chorus:

D A

The only two things

G A

That mean anything to me

D

Are loving you

A

G

And leaving Tennessee

Silver eagles fly down streets paved with gold

Stars keep shining through the dawn

Anything you can dream of to hold

You can have here for a song

But there’s a song tonight that’s riding the wind

I'm the words and you’re the melody

Chorus

Bridge:

G

It’s just the two of us

D A

All out on our own

G A

That’s the way it ought to be

Chorus

We can call up all our friends on the phone

Tell them that someday we’ll return

First, we have to start to make a new home

We have one last bridge to burn

Lay your head down and we’ll drive

Through the night and in the morning light you’re gonna see

Chorus
