Tennessee Mountain Girl chords by The Rubber Knife Gang

Chords with lyrics

A augmentedA
Well I was taking my time, shuffling a line
             E MajorE
I had to get back on the road

Same old features, night time creatures
            A augmentedA
Make a boy feel pretty old

Drifting here and there without a worry or a care
                    E MajorE
I wonder when my trail was coming to an end

I saw the wall in the Appalachian sun
                 A augmentedA
Riding six white horses round the bend

    D MajorD
And she said my name with a country twang
    A augmentedA         E MajorE
And my heart fell on the floor
F# minorF#m      D MajorD
All my life, I've been waiting
   E MajorE         A augmentedA
For a Tennessee mountain girl


A augmentedA
She said she was a teacher and her daddy was a preacher
                E MajorE
And I can testify that she was blessed

And when she served me dinner I knew she was a winner
                    A augmentedA
I was praying that she might give me a kiss

Well I know that I'm a sinner but she was no beginner
             E MajorE
When she drug me from the bar

She had me singing good old rocky top
             A augmentedA
Underneath the Knoxville stars


   D MajorD
Well she was a treasure and I'm glad I met her
    A augmentedA       E MajorE
But she left me wanting more
F# minorF#m     D MajorD
All my life, I've been waiting
   E MajorE         A augmentedA
For a Tennessee mountain girl

A augmentedA
And when I was in Denver I certainly remember
               E MajorE
How the women there treated me kind

But I miss the thrills of the holler and the hills
                  A augmentedA
And the girl with the smoky mountain eyes

And I tried Atlanta, Bozeman Montana
             E MajorE
Seattle, Santa Fe and Albany

But nothing compares with the sweet southern fare
              A augmentedA
Of the little girl I met in Tennessee


            D MajorD
And I remember when she said my name with a country twang
     A augmentedA         E MajorE
I left my heart there on the floor
F# minorF#m     D MajorD
All my life I've been waiting
   E MajorE         A augmentedA
For a Tennessee mountain girl
F# minorF#m     D MajorD
All my life I've been waiting
   E MajorE         A augmentedA
For a Tennessee mountain girl
