[Verse]
E A
I stayed away too long I know
E
And every day was slow to go
A
Every night I dreamed I was here
E
It's been a mighty lonely year
A
Every mile I needed you
D A
I kinda hope that you needed me too
D
Everywhere I saw your face
A
Around every town I was in
E
This old familiar place welcomed me again
A
Back to where I belonged to be
E A
Back to you and Tennessee
E A
Back to you and Tennessee
[Verse]
D
Beside the Cumberland River
A
Where the grass is soft and sweet
D
We ran across the fields of cedar
A E
Hiding from the noisy streets
A
And when the leaves fell from the cold
E A
The stars were silver the moon was gold
D A
I said it's yours with love from me
D A
I'm planting my roots in this ground
E
And when they look for me I'll be found
A E A
With something that is part of me you and Tennessee
E A
Back with you and Tennessee
