E                    A       E
I see rocky mountains and great lakes
E                        B
Stood beneath a redwood tree
A          E            C#m     A
But wherever I go my heart aches
E      B                E
For a place called Tennessee

C#m   A  E    B
Oh come with me
        A               E
Where the Whiskey flows like wine
        A               B
And the meth labs are divine
C#m   A  E    B
Oh I wanna be
        A               E
Where the sweet tobacco grows
        A               B
And is picked by poor Negros
        E
In Tennessee

E                    A       E
Oh it's a place where dueling banjos play
E                        B
And the mountain folk run free
A          E            C#m     A

Where all the children can spell k k k
E       B         E
But cannot spell Tennessee

C#m   A  E    B
Oh come with me
        A               E
Where every cheek is filled with chew
        A               B
And no one's never seen a Jew
C#m   A  E    B
Oh I wanna be
        A               E
Where the hotdogs are deep friend
        A               B
That's the reason Elvis died
        E
In Tennessee

C#m   A  E    B
Oh come with me
        A               E
Where the baptist preachers shout
        A               B
That if your gay you best get out
C#m   A  E    B
Oh I wanna be
        A               E
Where hospitality's the thing
        A               B
Just ask Martin Luther King
E 
Shot in Tennessee

E  A

E                    A       E
The birth place of Aretha queen of soul
E                        B
The BB king in Al Gore
A          E            C#m     A
I'm not saying it's a s*** hole
E      B                E
But they don't live there anymore

C#m   A  E    B
Oh I wanna see
        A               E
Mountain dew in every cup
        A               B
And all the dentists just gave up
C#m   A  E    B
Oh come with me
        A               E
On my fat bed pickup truck
        A               B
That's were the classy ladies F***
        A
In Tennessee
        E
Oh in Tennessee
