Tennessee Jive Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Oh,[Eb][D][G]
the sun goes down
and the moon shines bright
And it's fun dance time
on a Saturday night
The folks gather round
like bees in a hive
And the fiddle tune's up
to play the Tenness[A]ee jive
[G]And I'm gon[Am]e, gon[A]e, [Am]gone, [G]gone
[C]till the break of [G]day
It's [D]the Tennessee jive
and they [G]play it in a [D]real [G]gone [C]way
[G][C]
[G][C][D][Am][D]
[Am][G]
Dance the Tennessee Chive
and you'll ask for more
With your bare feet pickin' up
splinters on the floor
Your pants rolled up
and you're truckin' on down
With a high -tone gal [D]in the [G]calico gown
And I'm [Am]gone [C]till [G]the break of day
It's the Tenness[D]ee Chive
and they [C]play it in a [D]real [Am]gone
[G]way[C][G][C]
[G][Eb][G][D]
[G]
Oh, you grab a little gal
and you circle like a top
And you jump across the floor
with a skip and a hop
You gotta be sharp,
you gotta look alive
Cause the joint's really jumpin'
to the Tennessee Jive
And I'm [Am]gone [C]till [G]the [C]break [G]of [Am]day[G]
It's the [D]Tennessee Jive,
and they [G]play it in [D]a real [G]gone
[C]way[G]
[D][Am][D]
[Am][G]
Well, if you want to be happy
and glad you're alive
Take off your shoes
and do the Tennessee Jive
Feelin' kinda [D]low [G]and gonna get a treat
Just a -slippin' and a -slidin'
to a hillbilly beat
And I'm [C]gone, [G]gon[Am]e, gone, gon[C]e
[G]till the break of day
It's [D]the Tennessee Jive
and they [G]play [D]it in a real gone [G]way
