Long Way to Tennessee
I'm a Dlong, long way from where I wGant to be
In the DArizona prison they've got mGe
And unDtil they set me free, Goh, oh, Emme
It's a Amlong, long way from Dhere to TennesGsee.
Oh, my mouth is dry with dust my throat is raw
How I miss those big green trees in Arkansas
On the way to where I'll be when they set me free
But it's a long, long way from here to Tennessee.
A Clong, long Dway from Cme to the Dgirl that I love GsoG7  
CWill she Dwait for Cme, oh DLord I don't GknoG7w
I know that I've done wrong but friends I've paid the price
Back in Tennessee I left sweet paradise.
But until they set me free, oh, oh, me
It's a long, long way from here to Tennessee.
It's a long, long way from here to Tennessee...

Long Way to Tennessee

D G

I'm a long, long way from where I want to be

D G

In the Arizona prison they've got me

D G Em

And until they set me free, oh, oh, me

Am D G

It's a long, long way from here to Tennessee.

Oh, my mouth is dry with dust my throat is raw

How I miss those big green trees in Arkansas

On the way to where I'll be when they set me free

But it's a long, long way from here to Tennessee.

C D C D G G7

A long, long way from me to the girl that I love so

C D C D G G7

Will she wait for me, oh Lord I don't know

I know that I've done wrong but friends I've paid the price

Back in Tennessee I left sweet paradise.

But until they set me free, oh, oh, me

It's a long, long way from here to Tennessee.

It's a long, long way from here to Tennessee...
