Old Tennessee - Dan Fogelberg

Intro: //: D MajorD D/C# D/B A7A7 G/BG/B
E/C# ://

D MajorD    D/C#
End of October
  D/B     A7A7    G/BG/B  E/C#
The sleepy brown woods seem to
D MajorD       D/C#      A7A7  A7A7 G/BG/B
 E/C#
Nod down their heads to the Winter
D MajorD      D/C#      D/B      A7A7
G/BG/B E/C#
Yellows and grays paint the sad skies today
   G+G      A7A7      D MajorD
And I wonder when you're coming home

Woke up one morning
The wind through the window
Reminded me winter was just 'round the bend
Somehow I just did not see it was coming
It took me by surprise again

(Chorus)
  E minorEm      A7A7     D MajorD   D/C#
And I hear you're in San Francisco
B minorBm        Bm/ABm/A      G+G     A7A7
Living with your sister who's a mother to be
  E minorEm      A7A7     D MajorD    D/C#
And her husband's way down in Georgia
  B minorBm      Bm/ABm/A     G+G
And I'm still in old  Tennessee...
E minorEm      A7A7      G+G
Wishing you'd come home to me

Verse: 3
D MajorD      D/C#   D/B      A7A7
G/BG/B E/C#
Life here is easy I'm sure you recall
     D MajorD      D/C#
How it's so warm and breezy
    D/B      A7A7  G/BG/B E/C#
In the summer and the fall
  D MajorD     D/C#
But winter's upon me
  D/B     A7A7
And I've got no heat here
  G+G      A7A7   B minorBm
And I miss your fire so sweet
Bm/ABm/A   G+G      A7A7   D MajorD
Dear   I miss your fire so sweet

(Chorus)

I wonder when you're coming home
 E minorEm     A7A7      D MajorD
I wonder when you're coming home


"Old Tennessee" was written when I lived on a farm outside of Nashville, as a parody of
east coast folk music. It was written about a young lady I briefly cohabited with, and
