[A] [E]
[A] On one morning bright and clear
[D] To my old home I drew near
[B] Just a village down in sunny [E] Tennessee
[A] I'd been speeding on a train
[D] That would take me home again
[E] To the girl I left in sunny [A] Tennessee
You could hear the children singing
[D] As she bid farewell [A] to me
Far across those [F#] fields of cotton
My [B] old home instead [E] I could see
[A] As the moon rose in its glory
Then [D] I told my [A] saddest story
To that [E] girl I left in sunny [A] Tennessee

[B] I kissed my mother at the [E] station door
[A] We're kind friends gathered round
[D] Smiles on every face I've found
[E] But I miss the one that I've been [A] searching for
I just whispered, Mother dear
[D] Where is Mary, she's not here
[B] The world grew dark and sadness [E] came to me
She [A] just pointed to the spot
In [D] that little churchyard lot
[E] Where Mary sleeps in sunny [A] Tennessee
You could hear the children singing
As [D] she bid farewell [A] to me
Far across those [F#] fields of cotton
