C G C G C
C                 G C
Cold iron shackles, ball and chain.
Drink all day and rock all night.
I run into Charlie Fog.
F              G    C   G C
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      Co7   Dm7     C7
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   F           G   C  G C
if you don't head back to Tennessee Jed.
"You better head back to Tennessee Jed."
"Let's head back to Tennesse Jed."

C               G C
Rich man step on my poor head.
I dropped four flights and cracked my spine.
I woke up feelin' mean.
F               G     C   G C
When you get back, you better butter my bread.
Honey, come quick with the iodine.
I went down to play the slot machine.
     Co7  Dm7     C7
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  F          G    C
you better head back to Tennessee Jed.
Then you head back to Tennessee Jed.
"You better head back to Tennessee Jed."

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