[G]
Go down, go down to Knoxville town, the only town I've known.
[C] Meet me by the dogwood tree [G] and I'll let you walk me home.
I'll kiss you by the old bay zoo and [D] I'll take you [G] by the hand.
[D] [C] Hold it fast till you breathe your last [D] and tell you darling,
[C]
I knew [G] your plan.
[Gm] I [G]
was only a child then, but a frightened dream.
[C] I didn't know the ways of men, [G] did all I was told to do.
[D] Well I'll never forget those words [G] that you [D] whispered in my ear.
You [Cm] held me tight on that cold, cold night [D] and told me darling, I'll take [Bb] you away [G] from here.
[D]
[Gm]
Go [D] down, go [G] down to Knoxville town where the [D] river's deep and wide.
[C] Let the smoke in your mouth put the big deep south [G] in the shade of the [Gm] mountainside.
[D] Kiss me under the magnolia [G] tree, take me by the [D] hand.
[C] I'll hold it tight on that cold, [Cm] cold night [D] and tell you darling, you'll never be [G] my man.

Our evening stroll had a person too, you thought that I didn't care.
But [Cm] I saw your breath as you raised your [G] arm, I knew the end was drawing near.
That rock was heavy in my small fist, I had to [Dm] move on [Gm] in a flash.
[C] Well I hid my mark in the cold, cold [A] dark and this [D] depression would be your [G] last.
[Gm] [D] Go down to Knoxville town, [G] [D] down we all know well.
There's [Cm] a secret grave in the Tennessee [G] hotel [F] that they'll never [G] tell.
[D] That little girl with the golden curls and those dark rolling [G] eyes.
[D]
[C] She'll never [Cm] be your Knoxville girl, no [D] she'll never, [Db]
[Bb] never be [D] your old bride.
