There are things to do in Knoxville
 
          C
There are things to do in Nashville

    G              A7               D7
And Rock City is a place you oughta see

       G
But if you want to visit my town

          C
You won't find it on the road map

      G                  D7               G
And I can't say much for Heartbreak Tennessee


  C                    G
I live in a house with wall to wall sorrow

                 A7           D7
On the corner of pain and misery

    G                           C
I'm the judge and the mayor and the chief of police

In the town  of Heartbreak Tennessee



There are things to see in Memphis

    C
And if you ever visit Nashville

    G                  A7          D7

Now I've got some buddies Joe Pain and Sam Teardrop

                        A7           D7
They're all I've got to keep me company

         G                            C
Smallest city in the nation we're the entire population

In the town  of Heartbreak Tennessee
