Down In Tennessee

C                C/Bb                     Am7          Am7/F#
I talked to your sister last night on the telephone
C            C/Bb                  Am7           F
You know she always thought pretty well of me
C             C/Bb                        Am7                    Am7/F#
She said your weddin’ went fine, you were up in New York on your honeymoon
C     C/Bb      Am  F
And tonight I'm down    in Tennessee


[Verse 2]
C            C/Bb             Am7              Am7/F#
  I got that letter you wrote,  it tore me up
C       C/Bb                  Am7           F
  But I don’t have anyone to blame but me
C           C/Bb                    Am7             Am7/F#
  I had it all for a while but like everything else,   I messed it up
C         C/Bb         Am7 F
   And tonight I’m down      in Tennessee


[Chorus]
F              Dm                F
  It’s blue tonight and gettin’ bluer
C                G             F          C
  But I’m in the state that I deserve to be
        F                G    Am                    F             C
Without you I just can’t see,   things ever lookin’ up for me-e-e-e
C   Bb  Am  F           C
I’m so down   in Tennessee
C      C/Bb  Am7   Am7/F#


[Verse 3]
C               C/Bb                   Am7          Am7/F#
  I hope you’re happy with him, he’s a lucky man
C            C/Bb                    Am7     F
   I hope he gives you that home and family
C         C/Bb                     Am7              Am7/F#
  I wanna say if by chance you are ever this a-way,   look me up
C         C/Bb   Am  F
   Cause I’ll be down   in Tennessee


[Chorus]
F                Dm             F
  It’s blue tonight and gettin’ bluer
C                G             F          C
  But I’m in the state that I deserve to be
        F                G    Am                     F             C
Without you I just can’t see,   things ever lookin’ up for me-e-e-e
C   Bb  Am  F           C
I’m so down   in Tennessee
C   Bb  Am  F           C
I’m so down   in Tennessee
     C    Bb  Am     F           C
I’m gonna be down awhile in Tennessee
