Tennessee Homesick Blues Ukulele tab

	  C 
New York City ain't no kind of place 
  
      F 
For a country girl with a friendly face  

       C                        G7         F       C 
If you smile people look at you funny they take it wrong  


The greenest state in the land of the free 
  
        F 
And the home of the Grand Ole Opry  

   C                     G7    F        C 
Is calling me back to my Smoky Mountain home  



I wish I had my old fishing pole 
  
        F 
And was sitting on the banks of the fishing hole 
  
       C                G7              F       C 
Eating green apples and waiting for the fish to bite 
  

Life ain't as simple as it used to be 
  
      F 
Since the big apple took a bite out of me 
  
    C                     G7       F            C 
And Lord I'm so Tennessee homesick that I could die  


                           F          C 
But I ain't been home in I don't know when 
  
     F                C 
If I had it all to do over again  

                     G7     F       C 
Tonight I'd sleep in my old feather bed  

                           F            C 
What I wouldn't give for a little bitty taste  

   F               C 
Of Mama's homemade chocolate cake  

                   G7            F          C 
Tennessee homesick blues running through my head  



Mama you can fluff my feather bed  

        F 
Just as soon as I can I'm gonna head  

     C                G7           F         C 
Back to the Tennessee hills and it better be soon 
  

Daddy you can load the rifles up 
  
            F 
We're gonna load them dogs on the pickup truck 
  
    C                   G7         F          C 
And head off to Calhoun County and catch us a coon  


                           F          C 
But I ain't been home in I don't know when 
  
     F                C 
If I had it all to do over again  

                     G7     F       C 
Tonight I'd sleep in my old feather bed  

                       F           C 
Eating grits and gravy and country ham  

      F                     C 
Go to church on Sunday with dinner on the grounds  

                   G7                F          C 
Tennessee homesick blues are running through my head  


                           F          C 
And I ain't been home in I don't know when 
  
     F                C 
If I had it all to do over again  

                     G7     F 
Tonight I'd sleep in my old feather bed 
  
     C                  F         C 
Good Lord have mercy on a country girl 
  
E7                           F 
Trying to make a living in a rhinestone world  

                               Am   G7    F 
It's hard to be a diamond in a rhinestone world  

     C                  G7                       F 
With Tennessee homesick blues running through my head 

               C                  G7                       F 
I've got those Tennessee homesick blues running through my head
