[Am] [D]
of the Tennessee Stud.
Along about 1825
[C] I left Tennessee very much alive
[D] I never would have got through the Arkansas mud
If I hadn't been a [Am]-ridin' on the [D] Tennessee Stud
I had some trouble with my sweetheart's pa
[C] And one of her brothers was a bad outlaw
[D] I sent her a letter by my Uncle Fudd
And I rode away on the Tennessee Stud
The Tennessee Stud was long and lean
The color of the sun [Bb] in his [A] eyes was green
[D] He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud
[Am] [D]
We drifted on down into no man's land
[C] We crossed that river called the Rio Grande
[D] I raced my horse with a Spaniard's foal
Till I got me a [Am] skim full of silver and [D] gold
[D] Me and a gambler we couldn't agree
[C] We got in a fight over Tennessee
[D] We jerked our guns and he fell with a thud
And I got away [Am] on the [D] Tennessee Stud
The Tennessee Stud was long and lean
The color of the [Bb] sun in his [A] eyes was green
[D] He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse [Am] like the Tennessee [D] Stud
[Am] [D]
I got just as lonesome as a man can [C] be
Dreaming of my girl in Tennessee
The Tennessee Stud's green eyes turned blue
Cause he was a-dreaming of a sweetheart [D] too
[Am] [D]
We loped right back across Arkansas
[C] I whooped her brother and I whooped her pa
[D] I found that girl with the golden hair
And she was a-riding on the Tennessee mare
The Tennessee Stud was long and [G] lean
The color of the sun [Bb] in his [A] eyes was green
[D] He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud
[Am]
[D]
Stare up to stare up and side by side
[C] We crossed the mountains and the valleys wide
[D] We came to Big Muddy then we forded the flood
On the Tennessee mare [Am] and the Tennessee Stud
[D] I heard a little baby on the cabin [C] floor
A little horse called playing around the door
[D] I loved that girl with the golden hair
And the Tennessee Stud loved the Tennessee mare
The Tennessee [C] Stud was long and lean
The color of the sun in [A] his eyes was green
[D] He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud
Thanks for watching!

Let's start jamming Doc Watson - Tennessee Stud chords, practice the chord sequence D, C, D, G, A, D, Dm and D. A strategic approach would be to train at 49 BPM initially, and then accelerate to the song's tempo of 100. Align the capo with your vocal depth and chord choice, bearing in mind the song's original key: D Minor.
