Tennessee Stud Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]
Along about 1825 I [C]left
Tennessee very much alive
I [D]never would have got through the
Arkansas mud
If I hadn't been a -ridin' on the
[A]Tennessee [D]studs
I had some trouble with
my sweetheart's paw
And [C]one of her brothers was a bad outlaw
I [D]sent her a letter by my uncle's foot
And I rode away on the
Tennessee stud
The
Tennessee stud was long and lean
The color of the [G]sun and
[Bb]his eyes were [A]green
He [D]had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the
Tennessee
stud
We drifted on down into no man's land
We [C]crossed that river called the
Rio
Grande
I [D]raced my horse with a
Spaniard's foal, till I got me
a skin full of silver and gold
Me and a gambler, we couldn't agree,
we [C]got in a fight over
Tennessee
We [D]jerked our gun, then he fell with a thud,
and I got away on the
Tennessee stud
The
Tennessee stud was long and lean,
the color of the [G]sun in his [Bb]eyes were [A]green
[D]He had my nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the
Tennessee
Stud I got just as lonesome as
a man can be
[C]Dreamin' of my girl in
Tennessee
The
[D]Tennessee
Stud's green eyes turned blue
Cause he was a -dreamin' of
a [A]sweetheart, [D]too[A]
[D]We loped right back across
Arkansas
I [C]whooped her brother and
I whooped her paw
I [D]found that girl with the golden hair
And she was a -ridin' on the
Tennessee mare
The
Tennessee stud was [C]long and [D]lean
The [G]color of the sun in his eyes were [A]green
He [D]had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the
Tennessee
Stub
Stare up to stare up and side by side
We [C]crossed the mountains and
the valleys wide
We [D]came to
Big
Muddy then we forded the flood
On the
Tennessee mare and the
Tennessee
Stub
A pretty little baby on the cabin floor
A [C]little horse caught playin' around the door
I [D]loved that girl with the golden hair
And the
Tennessee stud loves a
Tennessee man
The
Tennessee stud was [C]long and [D]lean
The [G]color of the sun in his [Bb]eyes was [A]green
He [D]had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse like the
[A]Tennessee [D]stud
