Mama I guess you heard
      G
I got married in Tennessee
        A
I got a blue-eyed girl
                        D
Who thinks the world of me
         D
We got a cabin in the country
      G
And a creek that rolls nearby
      A                                 D
And a dog that won't even bark at a firefly
    D                                      G
Our clothes lines hang just outside our backdoor
              A
And there's a tire that swings in the air
            D
Ten feet or more
          D
There's a church I can't seem to find
          G
On Sunday mornin'
      A                           D
But I sure found the place that I belong in
           G
And we wear blue jeans
    A
And big green beans
D                    G
Spend the summertime naturally high
  G                   A
By chopping wood, for next winters fire
D                        G
Saving our money for the county fair
G                            A
George Jones' supposed to be there
      G               A
We got forty acres of corn in the ground
D                   G
Tennessee taters we sell by the pound
G               A
Proud as we can be
   G       A    D
To live in Tennessee
     D                                       G
Mama you and dad gotta come stay with us sometime
  A                                      D
I know you love that sweet little gal of mine
        D
You and her could talk about babies
                    G
Make some home made apple pie
             A
While me and dad could take a walk
                           D
Maybe talk about old times
           G
And we wear blue jeans
    A
And big green beans
D                    G
Spend the summertime naturally high
  G                   A
By chopping wood, for next winters fire
D                        G
Saving our money for the county fair
G                            A
George Jones' supposed to be there
      G               A
We got forty acres of corn in the ground
D                   G
Tennessee taters we sell by the pound
G               A
Proud as we can be
        G       A    D
That we live in Tennessee
       G                A
We are proud as we can be
   G       A    D
To be from Tennessee
       G               A
We are proud as we can be
   G       A    D
To be from Tennessee
