JOHNNY CASH - Tennessee chords
Start Jamming...
Mama, I guess you heard I got [G] married in Tennessee
I got [A] a blue-eyed girl who thinks the [D] world of me
[Bm] We got a cabin in the country [G] And the creek that rolls nearby
[A] And the dog that won't even bark at a [D]
firefly
[Bm] [D] Our clotheslines hang just outside our [G] back door
And [A] there's a tire that swings in the air ten [D] feet or more
There's a church I can't seem to find on Sunday [G]
morning
But I [A] sure found a place that I [D] belong in
And we [G] wear blue jeans [A] and pick green beans
[D]
Spend the summertime [G] naturally high
By chopping wood [A] till the next one is fire
[D] Saving our money for the [G] county fair
George Jones is supposed to be [A] there
We got [G] forty acres of [A] corn in the ground
[D] Tennessee taters we sell [G] by the pound
We're proud as we can [A] be [G] to live in [D] Tennessee
Mama, you and Dad have got to come stay with us [G]
sometime
[A] I know you love that sweet little gal [D] of mine
You and her could talk about babies, make some [G] homemade apple pie
While me [A] and Dad could take a walk, maybe talk about old times
[D]
And we [G] wear blue jeans and pick [A] green beans
[D] Spend the summertime [G] naturally high
By chopping wood [A] till the next one is fire
[D]
Saving money for the [G] county fair
George Jones is supposed to be [A] there
We got [G] forty acres of [A] corn in the ground
[D] Tennessee taters we [G] sell by the pound
Proud as we [A] can be that [G] we live in [D] Tennessee
We [G] are proud as we can be to be from Tennessee
[D] We are [G] proud as we [A] can be to be from [D] Tennessee
