[A]
[E]
[Bm] I woke up in a hotel, [A] didn't know what to do.
[E] I turned the TV on, [B] wrote a [E] letter to you.
You're talking about a dead man, a [A] pony in the state.
[E] Seems they're looking for a [Bm] Cadillac with Tennessee [E] plates.
[A]
[E] Once I left California, baby, things had gotten worse.
It's a land of opportunity [B] for me, it's [E] just a curse.
Tell that judge in Bakersfield, I'll try to have the way.
They're looking [B] for a Cadillac with Tennessee [E] plates.
He's [A] in for somewhere in Nevada, he was pulled outside.
[E] She was shivering in the dark, so I offered her a ride.
[A] She thanked John Brady for a car's hot and wild.
[B] We crossed the Mississippi like a horse [C#] lit fire.

[B] If they'd known what we was up to, they wouldn't have [A] let us in.
[E] Daddy landed [A] in Memphis [B] like a original [Em] city.
Now this crazy puller barred through the [A] Graceland case.
Oh, see, [B] we're looking for a Cadillac with Tennessee [E] plates.
[A] [E]
Man, there must have been a dozen of them parking [A] in the garage.
There wasn't one Lincoln and there wasn't one Dodge.
Wasn't one Japanese model [A] made.
[E] Just a pretty, pretty [C#] Cadillac with Tennessee [E] plates.
[A] She saw him singing once when she was 17.
[E] Ever since that day, she's been living in between.
[A] I was never keen to nothing, but that wild Reggie,
[B] anyway, he wouldn't [C#] care.
He'll be keeping to his [Em] plans.

The Tennessee prison up at Russian Mountain.
Where you're all sin-sitters doing [A] five to eight.

Stabbing out my time making [F#] Tennessee plates.
