Tennessee Madonna Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]You[D]'re a c[G]ousin[Am]
to the [D]mountains
And [G]a sister [D]to [Bm]each [D]pine
[Em]You trem[Am]ble like an ever[D] -flowing
glass [G]of wine
[D]You're [G]like [Am]sand instead of copper
[D]With a t[G]housand wat[D]ts of sun[Em]
And [Am]quick wing beats in place [D]of clocks
to tell [G]your [C]time[G]
[Am]You're [G]at [C]home on any [Cm]hilltop
But you [G]cry [D]on the Ferris [Em]wheel
[Am]You'll lose yourself in
[D]other people's [G]lives
Oh, my [C]Tennessee Madon[Cm]na
Country [G]daughter [D]of the [Em]flames
Your [Am]days were barred
in crystal [D]worlds of fall[C]ing [G]rain
My [Am]altar is your slanting knee
[D]Where I whi[G]sper my [D]nightly tho[Em]ughts
Yet [Am]I never,
never feel [D]the flame that burns [G]inside
There [D]are [G]chi[Am]ldren lost
in the sight [D]of you
Now just [G]waiting [D]to be [Em]born
As [Am]a happy comprom
[D]ise of [G]you and me
You're at [C]home on any [Cm]hilltop
But you [G]cry [D]on Ferris [Em]wheels
If you [Am]lose yourself in [D]other people's [G]lives
Oh, my [C]Tennessee, my [Cm]darlin'
Country [G]daughter [D]of [Em]the plains
Your [Am]days are in crystal [D]worlds
of falling [C]rain[Am]
