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.

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.
