Tennessee Homesick Blues chords by Dolly Parton

Chords with lyrics

C majorC
New York City ain't no kind of place

   FF
For a country girl with a friendly face

    C majorC            G7G7     FF    C majorC
If you smile people look at you funny they take it wrong


The greenest state in the land of the free

    FF
And the home of the Grand Ole Opry

  C majorC           G7G7  FF    C majorC
Is calling me back to my Smoky Mountain home

I wish I had my old fishing pole

    FF
And was sitting on the banks of the fishing hole

    C majorC        G7G7       FF    C majorC
Eating green apples and waiting for the fish to bite


Life ain't as simple as it used to be

   FF
Since the big apple took a bite out of me

  C majorC           G7G7    FF      C majorC
And Lord I'm so Tennessee homesick that I could die


              FF     C majorC
But I ain't been home in I don't know when

   FF        C majorC
If I had it all to do over again

           G7G7   FF    C majorC
Tonight I'd sleep in my old feather bed

              FF      C majorC
What I wouldn't give for a little bitty taste

  FF        C majorC
Of Mama's homemade chocolate cake

          G7G7      FF     C majorC
Tennessee homesick blues running through my head

Mama you can fluff my feather bed

    FF
Just as soon as I can I'm gonna head

   C majorC        G7G7      FF     C majorC
Back to the Tennessee hills and it better be soon


Daddy you can load the rifles up

      FF
We're gonna load them dogs on the pickup truck

  C majorC          G7G7     FF     C majorC
And head off to Calhoun County and catch us a coon


              FF     C majorC
But I ain't been home in I don't know when

   FF        C majorC
If I had it all to do over again

           G7G7   FF    C majorC
Tonight I'd sleep in my old feather bed

            FF      C majorC
Eating grits and gravy and country ham

   FF           C majorC
Go to church on Sunday with dinner on the grounds

          G7G7        FF     C majorC
Tennessee homesick blues are running through my head


              FF     C majorC
And I ain't been home in I don't know when

   FF        C majorC
If I had it all to do over again

           G7G7   FF
Tonight I'd sleep in my old feather bed

   C majorC         FF     C majorC
Good Lord have mercy on a country girl

E7E7              FF
Trying to make a living in a rhinestone world

                A minorAm  G7G7  FF
It's hard to be a diamond in a rhinestone world

   C majorC         G7G7            FF
With Tennessee homesick blues running through my head

        C majorC         G7G7            FF
I've got those Tennessee homesick blues running through my head

          C majorC
Tennessee homesick blues
