[G] [C] New York City ain't no kind of [F] place
For a country girl with a friendly face
[C] Except his smile, people love [G] it too funny
[F] They [C] take it wrong
The greenest state in the land of the free
[F] And the home of the grand old opry
Is calling me [G] back to my [F] smoky [C] mountain home
I wish I had my old fishing [F] pole
I'm a sitting on the bank of the fishing hole
Eating green [G] apples and [F] waiting for the [C] fish to bite
Life ain't as simple as it used to be
[F] Since the big apple took a bite out of me
I [C] thought I'd pretend I [G] see [F] homesick that I [C] could die
But I ain't been home and I don't know when
[F] If I had an oar to [C] do over again
Tonight I sleep [G] in my [F] old painted [C] bed
Why I wouldn't give for a little bit of [F] taste
Of mama's [C] homemade chocolate cake
Then I see [G] homesick blues [F] running through my head
[C] Yodeling

[G] [C]
Mama you can plug my bed
[F] As soon as I can I'm a going to head
Back to the [G] Tennessee [F] hills and it [C] better be soon
Daddy you can load the rifles up
We're [F] going to load them dogs on my pickup truck
And [C] head up to [G] Calhoun County and get to [C] school
But I ain't been home [F] and I don't know when
If I had [C] an oar to do over again
Tonight I [G] sleep in [F] my old [C] painted bed
Eating my sun gravy and country [F] ham
Going to church on the [C] sun, do dinner on the ground
Then I see [G] homesick [F] blues running through [C] my head
If
[F] I had an oar [C] to do over again
Tonight I sleep [G] in [F] my old painted bed
[C] Mercy on a country girl
[E] Trying to make a living [F] in a rhinestone world
It's hard to be a diamond [G] in a [F] rhinestone [C] world
Then I see [G] homesick blues running through [F] my head
[C] I got those Tennessee [G] homesick blues running through [F] my head
