Tennessee Stud Chords by Johnny Cash

_ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Back about 18 and 25, [A] I left Tennessee very much alive.
_ [B] I never would have made it through the Arkansas mud
if I hadn't been a [F#]-ridin' on a Tennessee [B] stud. _ _
_ Had some trouble with my sweetheart's pa,
[A]
one of her brothers was a bad outlaw. _ _
[B] I got a letter to my Uncle Bud,
and I rode [F#] away on the [B] Tennessee stud.
_ _ _ The Tennessee [A] stud was [B] long and lean,
the [E] color of the sun [C#] and his eyes were [F#] green.
_ _ _ [B] He had the nerve and he had the blood,
there never was a horse [F#] like the [B] Tennessee stud. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Well, I rode right down into no man's [A] land,
crossed that river called the Rio Grande.
_ [B] I raced my horse with a Spaniard foe,
got me a [F#] skin full of silver [B] and gold.
_ _ Me and the gambler we couldn't agree,
[A] we got in a fight over Tennessee.
_ _ [B] We pulled our guns and he fell with a thud,
and I rode [C#] away on the Tennessee [B] stud. _ _
_ The Tennessee stud [A] was [B] long and lean,
the color of the [D] sun and his [C#] eyes [F#] were green. _ _
[B] He had the nerve and he had the blood,
there never was a horse [F#m] like the [B] Tennessee stud. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Rode right back across Arkansas,
[A] I whipped her brother and I whipped her paw.
_ [B] I found that girl with the golden hair,
she was riding [F#] on a [B] Tennessee mare. _ _ _
Heard a little baby on the cabin floor,
[A] little horse cold playing round the door.
_ I [B] love the girl with the golden hair,
and the Tennessee stud [F#m] loves the Tennessee [B] mare.
_ _ _ The Tennessee [A] stud was [B] long and lean,
[E] the color of the [D] sun and his [F#] eyes were green.
_ _ _ [B] He had the nerve and he had the blood,
there never was a [F#m] horse like the Tennessee [B] stud. _ _
