[Intro]
A   E   A   E   A
[Verse]
I Awoke up this mornin' in the pourin' Erain
Underneath the trestle of a northbound Atrain
Gotta get back home, I've been away too Elong
I'm afraid my baby gonna do me Awrong
[Chorus]
I can Dstill see her standin' in the Abright sunshine
Her Eblue eyes shinin' like Adiamonds in a mine
DBut I've been stranded in this Aone-horse town
GStanding on the corner with my Ehead hung Adown
[Instrumental]
A  D  E    A
A     E    A
[Verse]
Got Ain a little trouble in Greenwood ETown
The sheriff and his brother tried to run me Adown
I told 'im "I'm just goin' back to TennesEsee
I have a little woman waitin' there for Ame"
[Chorus]
I can Dstill see her standin' in the Abright sunshine
Her Eblue eyes shinin' like Adiamonds in a mine

When the Asheriff grabbed me, well, I broke his Earm
He said, "I'm gonna send you to the parchment Afarm."
When I asked the judge, "Hey! What did I do Ewrong?"
"Well son, you stayed in Mississippi one day too Along."
[Chorus]
I can Dstill see her standin' in the Abright sunshine
Her Eblue eyes shinin' like Adiamonds in a mine
