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
                   C
Tennessee homesick blues
