Hello there. _ _ _
One, two, three.
_ [A#] Do we want a try [C#] break?
[B] Now, your fiddle break comes right after I get back and whoop her brother [C#] in her paw and sing a chorus.
Meanwhile, back at the [G#] [C#] ranch.
Now, that is about as pretty a bass line as I've heard played in [F#] something in a long time. _
I've [C#] complimented that boy back there.
[C#m] _ _
[Bm] That's a horse's foot in the gravel, man.
[C#] That ain't trained.
_ _ [G#] _ [C#] _ _ [Am]
[C#] Running through a ford in the peak. _ _ _ _
Want to try one, Doc?
_ Let's see if we can put down [G#] a take.
Where's the harmony at?
[C#] Right here?
He's talking to the bass pack.
Along

[C#] _ _ about 1825, [B] I left Tennessee very much alive. _
[C#] And I never would have got through the Arkansas mud if I hadn't been a-riding that Tennessee stud.
_ [G#m] _ [C#]
I had some trouble with my sweetheart's paw.
[B] One of her brothers was a-bout out of law.
_ I [C#] sent her a letter by my uncle's foot, then I rode away on the Tennessee stud.
_ [G#m] _ [C#] _
The Tennessee stud [F#] was long and lean, the color of the sun, [F#m] and his [G#] eyes were green.
_ [C#] He had the nerve and he had the blood, and there never was a horse like the Tennessee stud. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[G#m] _ [C#] _ _ _ [G#m] _ [C#]
We drifted on down into no man's land.
[B] We crossed that river called Rio Grande. _
[C#] I raced my horse with a Spaniard's bow till he got me a skin [G#m] full of silver [C#] and gold.
[G#m] _ [C#] _
Me and the gambler, we couldn't agree.
[B] We got in a fight over Tennessee.
_ _ [C#] We jerked our guns and he fell with a thud, and I got away [G#m] on the [C#] Tennessee stud.
_ _ _ The Tennessee stud was long and [F#] lean, the color of the [A] sun, and his [G#] eyes were green.
_ [C#] He had the nerve and he had the blood, and there never was a horse like the Tennessee stud. _ _ _ _ _

[C#] _ _ _ [G#m] _ [C#] _
Well, I got just as lonesome as a man can [B] be, a-dreaming of my [G#m] girl in Tennessee.
_ [B] _ [C#] The Tennessee stud's green eyes turned blue, cause he was a-dreaming [G#m] of a sweetheart [C#] too.
_ _ _ We looked right back across Arkansas.
[B] I whooped her brother and I whooped her paws.
_ [C#] When I found that girl with the golden hair, she [G#m] was a-riding that [C#] Tennessee mare.
Whoa, [G#m] boy.
[C#] _ The Tennessee [F#] stud was long and lean, the color of the sun, [F#m] and his [G#] eyes were green.
_ [C#] He had the nerve [D#m] and he [C#] had the blood, and there never was a horse like the Tennessee stud. _

_ _ _ Stirrup to stirrup and side by [B] side, we crossed them mountains and the valleys wide.
_ [C#] We came to Big Muddy, then we forded a flood on the Tennessee [G#m] mare and the [C#] Tennessee stud.
_ [G#m] _
[C#] _ There's a pretty little baby on the cabin floor, [B] a little horse coat playing round the door. _
[C#] I loved that girl with the golden hair, and the Tennessee stud loves the Tennessee mare.
There's good horses. _
