I saw the river playing in the valley
C Am Em
Rushing 'round a bend and skipping stones
C Am Em
I saw the meadow wobble in the moonlight

I've come to get my girl and take her home
G F C
Her doorbell plays a bar of Stephen Foster
G F C
Her sister never left and look what it cost her
G F C
We're gonna live in Nashville and I'll make a career
G F C
Out of writing sad songs and getting paid by the tear
G Am
Marry me and leave Kentucky
C G D
Come to Tennessee
G C D
'Cause you're the only ten I see
G C D
You're the only ten I see
G Am C D
I've looked through offices and honky-tonks for men man enough to be
G C D
Mr. and Mrs. Tennessee
G C D
Mr. and Mrs. Tennessee

Punk rock died when the first kid said

G F C
Off to the land whose blood runneth orange
G Am
Marry me and leave Kentucky
C G D
Come to Tennessee
G C D
'Cause you're the only ten I see
G C D
You're the only ten I see
G Am C D
I've looked through offices and honky-tonks for men man enough to be
G C D
Mr. and Mrs. Tennessee
G C D
Mr. and Mrs. Tennessee
