Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C]

[Verse 1]
Now [G]there are folks who like to brag
about where they came from
But when they start that [C]stuff, I let 'em be
But it makes me feel like I wanna brag some
To know that I [G]come from the
state of Tennessee

[Verse 2]
Let's give old Tennessee [C]credit for music
[G]As they play it up in Nashville every day
Let's give old Tennessee
credit for music
As they play it in that old Hillbilly way

[Verse 3]
[G]Mister Red Foley came from Kentucky
Now, Ernest Tubb down [C]in Texas,
don't you see
But if all you folks out there
[G]can remember
Mister Eddy Arnold came from
Tenness[C]ee

[Interlude 1]

[C]

[Verse 4]
Let's give old Ten[G]nessee
credit for music
As they play it up in Nashville
everyday
Let's give old Tennessee
credit for music
As they play it in that old
hillbilly way

[Verse 5]
They make bombs [C]they say, that can
blow up our world, dear
Well a country boy like me, I will agree
But if all you [G]folks out there can
remember
They made the first atom[C]ic[G]
[C]bomb in Tennessee

[Verse 6]
[C]Let's [G]giv[C]e old Ten[G]
nessee credit for music
As they play it up in Nashville

Let's give old Tennessee credit for music
As they play it in that old hill[C]billy way

As they play it up in Nashville everyday
Let's give old [G]Tennessee credit for music

[Outro 1]
As they play it in that old hillbilly way
