C RIFF
Cold iron shackles, ball and chain
F G C RIFF
Listen to the whistle of the evenin' train
C Co7 Dm7 C C7
You know you bound to wind up dead
F G C RIFF
If you don't head back to Tennessee Jed
C RIFF
Rich man step on my poor head
F G C RIFF
When you get back, you better butter my bread
Co7 Dm7 C C7
Well you know it's like I said:
F G C
you better head back to Tennessee Jed
CHORUS:
Bb F G C
F C G F
Tennessee, Tennessee, there ain't no place I'd rather be
C G F C G F RIFF
Baby won't you carry me back to Tennessee
Drink all day and rock all night
The law come to get you if you don't walk right
Got a letter this mornin', baby and all it read:
"You better head back to Tennessee Jed"
I dropped four flights and cracked my spine
Honey, come quick with the iodine
Catch a few winks, baby, under the bed
Then you head back to Tennessee Jed ...CHORUS
I run into Charlie Fog
Blacked my eye and he kicked my dog
My doggie turned to me and he said
"Let's head back to Tennesse Jed"
I woke up feelin' mean
I went down to play the slot machine
The wheels turned around and the letters read
"You better head back to Tennessee Jed"...CHORUS
