[G] [C] [G]
Like a sweet rippling mountain stream
Rows the sound of the banjo on Cripple Creek
Never beginning, never ending
Just rippling on and on
So does the land
Just ripple on and on
As a heart gets soft on a woman
So can a heart get soft on the land
And to fall in love with a woman
As well as a land
Is to surely be in love
[C] [G]

I stayed away [G] too long, [C] I know
And [F] every day was slow to go
[G] Every night I dreamed I was here
It's [C] been a mighty [G] long [C] year
[Am] [C] Every [G] mile I needed [C] you
I [F] kinda hoped that you needed me too
[G] Everywhere I saw your face
Around [A] every town I was [G] in
This old familiar place welcomed me again
Back to where I belonged to be
Back to you and [C] Tennessee
[G] Back to you and [C] Tennessee

[G] [C]
[F] Beside the Cumberland River
Where [C] the grass is soft and sweet
We [F] ran across the fields of cedar
[C] Hiding from the noisy [G] streets
And when [C] the leaves [G] fell from [C] the cold
The stars [F] were silver, the moon was gold
I [G] said it's yours with love from me
I'm planting my roots in this ground
And if they look for me I'll be found
With something that is part of me
You and [C] Tennessee
[G] Back with you and [C] Tennessee

And to fall in love with a woman
As well as a land
Is to surely be in love
