[D]
Well, I left [G] home at the crack of dawn [A]
just about a year [D] ago.
I found my way [G] across the USA [A] and I learned a lot I didn't [D] know.
The promised land [G] that I thought I'd find [A] was always just ahead [D] of me.
Until one day [G] when I realized [A] I left it back in [D] Tennessee.
And that's why I'm going back [A] to my Tennessee girl [G] and the Tennessee way [D] of life.
And I'm gonna ask [A] my Tennessee girl [G] to be my [D] Tennessee wife.
[A] [D] By night I slept [G] in a hobo camp [A] working odd jobs [D] by day.
I never [Am] got enough [G] to get ahead [A] just enough to make my [D]
way.
Cold and tired [G] when the evening come [A] all I had to ease my [D]
mind
was thinking about the place [G] I started from [A] and the girl that I left [D]
behind.
And that's why I'm going back to [A] my Tennessee girl [G] and the Tennessee way [D] of life.

[B] [E] There ain't no place [A] that I've been at all [B] that I would want to settle [E] in.
And every town [A] that I traveled through [B] made me want to go home [E] again.
The green green grass [A] and the rolling hills [B]
seems to keep a calling [E] me.
Back to the place [A] where I was born [B] and the girl that I long [E] to see.
And that's why I'm going back [B] to my Tennessee [Abm] girl [A] and the Tennessee way [E] of life.
