Tennessee Homesick Blues chords by Dolly Parton

C
New York City ain't no kind of place

   F
For a country girl with a friendly face

    C            G7     F    C
If you smile people look at you funny they take it wrong


The greenest state in the land of the free

    F
And the home of the Grand Ole Opry

  C           G7  F    C
Is calling me back to my Smoky Mountain home

I wish I had my old fishing pole

    F
And was sitting on the banks of the fishing hole

    C        G7       F    C
Eating green apples and waiting for the fish to bite


Life ain't as simple as it used to be

   F
Since the big apple took a bite out of me

  C           G7    F      C
And Lord I'm so Tennessee homesick that I could die


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

   F        C
If I had it all to do over again

           G7   F    C
Tonight I'd sleep in my old feather bed

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

  F        C
Of Mama's homemade chocolate cake

          G7      F     C
Tennessee homesick blues running through my head



Mama you can fluff my feather bed

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

   C        G7      F     C
Back to the Tennessee hills and it better be soon


Daddy you can load the rifles up

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

  C          G7     F     C
And head off to Calhoun County and catch us a coon


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

   F        C
If I had it all to do over again

           G7   F    C
Tonight I'd sleep in my old feather bed

            F      C
Eating grits and gravy and country ham

   F           C
Go to church on Sunday with dinner on the grounds

          G7        F     C
Tennessee homesick blues are running through my head


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

   F        C
If I had it all to do over again

           G7   F
Tonight I'd sleep in my old feather bed

   C         F     C
Good Lord have mercy on a country girl

E7              F
Trying to make a living in a rhinestone world

                Am  G7  F
It's hard to be a diamond in a rhinestone world

   C         G7            F
With Tennessee homesick blues running through my head

        C         G7            F
I've got those Tennessee homesick blues running through my head

          C
Tennessee homesick blues
