C majorC G+G C majorC G+G C majorC
C                 G+G C majorC
Cold iron shackles, ball and chain.
Drink all day and rock all night.
I run into Charlie Fog.
FF              G+G    C majorC   G+G C majorC
Listen to the whistle of the evenin' train.
The law come to get you if you don't walk right.
Blacked my eye and he kicked my dog.
C majorC      Co7   Dm7Dm7     C7C7
You know you bound to wind up dead
Got a letter this mornin', baby and all it read:
My doggie turned to me and he said.
C majorC   FF           G+G   C majorC  G+G C majorC
if you don't head back to Tennessee Jed.
"You better head back to Tennessee Jed."
"Let's head back to Tennesse Jed."

C majorC               G+G C majorC
Rich man step on my poor head.
I dropped four flights and cracked my spine.
I woke up feelin' mean.
FF               G+G     C majorC   G+G C majorC
When you get back, you better butter my bread.
Honey, come quick with the iodine.
I went down to play the slot machine.
     Co7  Dm7Dm7     C7C7
Well you know it's like I said:
Catch a few winks, baby, under the bed.
The wheels turned around and the letters read,
C majorC  FF          G+G    C majorC
you better head back to Tennessee Jed.
Then you head back to Tennessee Jed.
"You better head back to Tennessee Jed."

Bb majorBb FF G+G C majorC
FF              C majorC         G+G    FF
Tennessee, Tennessee, there ain't no place I'd rather be.
C majorC       G+G   FF
Baby won't you carry me
C majorC   G+G   FF  G+G C majorC
back to Tennessee.
