[C#] [C#m] [F#m]
[B] [E]
I [G#m] hear the cottonwoods [A]
whispering [E] above
[G#m] Tammy, [C#m]
Tammy, [F#m] Tammy is [E] my [B] love
[E] The old hooty [G#m] owl [G#] hooty hoos [E] to the dove
[G#m] Tammy, [A] Tammy, [B]
Tammy is [E] my love
Does my darling feel [A] what I feel
[F#] When she comes [B] near [G#] my heart [C#m] so joyfully
[E] You'd think that she [C#m] [B] could hear
You [E] wish mine if [G#m] she [A] could pine [E] dream
[G#m] Tammy, [C#m]
Tammy, [F#m] Tammy is my [E] love
Whip a wheel, [G#m] whip a wheel
[A] You and [E] I know
[G#m] Tammy,
[C#m] Tammy, [F#m]
can't [B] let her go
[E] The breeze [G#m] from the bough [A] keeps memories [E] low
[G#m]
[A]
[B] You love [E] her in spades
When the night is [A] warm, soft and [F#] warm
I long for her [B] charm, [G#] I'd sing [C#m] like a lark
[C#m] If [B] she were in [F#m] my arms
[Am]
Wish [E] I knew if [G#m] she knew [A] what I'm [E]
[C#m] saying
[G#m]
Tammy, [F#m]
Tammy is my [B]
love
[F#] [F] [E]
