Tennessee Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

Intro: [D]

[D]Mama I guess you heard
I got [G]married in Tennessee
I got a [A]blue-eyed girl
Who thinks the world of [D]me
We got a [D]cabin in the country
And a [G]creek that rolls nearby
And a [A]dog that won't even bark at a fire[D]fly
Our [D]clothes line just hang outside our back[G]door
And there's a [A]tire that swings in the air
Ten feet or [D]more
There's a [D]church I can't seem to find
On Sunday [G]mornin'
But I [A]sure found the place that I [D]belong in

And we wear[G] blue jeans
And [A]big green beans
[D]Spend the summertime [G]naturally high
By[G] chopping wood, for [A]next winters fire
[D]Saving our money for the [G]county fair
[G]George Jones' 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
[G]Proud as we can [A]be
To [G]live in [A]Tenne[D]ssee

Mama [D]you and dad gotta come stay with us some[G]time
I [A]know you love that sweet little gal of [D]mine
You and [D]her could talk about babies
Make some home made [G]apple pie
While me and [A]dad could take a walk
Maybe talk about old times [D]

And we wear[G] blue jeans
And [A]big green beans
[D]Spend the summertime [G]naturally high
By[G] chopping wood, for [A]next winters fire
[D]Saving our money for the [G]county fair
[G]George Jones' 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
[G]Proud as we can [A]be
That we [G]live in [A]Tenne[D]ssee

We are [G]proud as we can b[A]e
To [G]be from [A]Tenne[D]ssee
We are [G]proud as we can [A]be
To [G]be from [A]Tenne[D]ssee

Ending: [D]
