Jimmy Martin - Tennessee chords
Start Jamming...
Yes, he is.
One of the finest bands in all the world, ladies and gentlemen.
Right here, Jimmy Martin and all the Sunny Mountain Boys and gals.
Hello, darling.
Hello, Jim.
Good to see you, my boy.
Good to see you.
Always want to be at a carnival with you.
Yes, sir.
And tonight we've got it.
We got the best bluegrass in all the world.
That poor hippie don't know what he's missing.
Now wait.
You said bluegrass.
Well, what do you call it?
We're going to add a little yellowgrass to it.
All right.
All right, my boy.
Who's all the boys?
Golly, that's a big question.
[Ab] Some of them's new.
One of them's from Aralb, Alabama.
Oh, I know.
Down in Wallace country.
Jerome.
Yeah, I know.
Aralb, Alabama.
OK.
And Al Mundy on the banjo back there from Oklahoma.
And your son playing drums, isn't he?
Yeah, Jimmy Martin Jr.
Little Jimmy Martin Jr.
And you can just let her tell you who she is.
I don't want nothing to do with her.
She's the only girl that's a boy.
A boy that's only a girl, whichever way it is.
What are you all going to do for us?
Can I see?
Hey, you're talking about the place which I live and dearly love, boy.
Sock it to them right now.
All right.

You have heard and [F] read about the [C] state of Tennessee.
Down [G] in sunny Statsville is where I want to [C] be.
Where the valleys are so green and the mountains are so tall.
You will know just what [G] I mean when you hear [C] us say you are [F] Tennessee.
I hear [C] you calling me.
I hear you calling me.
The home of Daddy Crockett in the hills of Tennessee.
Now [G]
[C]
when I was a little boy around my folks' home,
my mother always said to [Bm] me, now Jimmy, [G] please don't roam.
[C]
Down in the house straightaway my heart is full of gold.
Well, when I think [G] of Mommy and Dad, [C] that's where I want to go.
[F] In Tennessee.
I [C] hear you calling me.
I hear you calling me.
The home of Daddy Crockett in the hills of Tennessee.
[F] [C] [D]
[G] [C]
If ever I get back to that state of Tennessee,
I tell you there'll be no [D] more [G] roaming for me.
[C]
My little sweetheart said she'd marry me.
As soon as I get [G] back to that [C] state of Tennessee.
[F] Tennessee.
I [C] hear you calling me.
I hear you calling me.
[Ab] The [Bm] home of Daddy Crockett in the hills of Tennessee.
