Tennessee Teardrops Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]The[G] li[D]ght[G]s of the city,
they [C]sure do look pretty
And they'll [G]brighten your [D]life for a [G]while
[D]But it's a [G]cold, world
for [C]a Tennessee boy when he l[G]oves,
for a [D]country girl's [G]smile
The faster life lured me,
all my [C]friends reassured me,
and I [G]was drawn like a [D]moth to a [G]flame
[D]But [G]now I'm so lonely
I [C]dream of you only
And I [G]wake nights and [D]whisper your [G]name
I'm crying [C]Tennessee teardrops
right [G]up to the rooftops
Like [D]rain falling down from [G]the blue
[C]I've got an ocean to [G]cry me an ocean
And float this [D]Tennessee heart
back to [G]you[C][G][D]
[G]
Back home birds are singing,
[C]guitars are[G] rin[C]ging
Their [G]songs fill [D]the clean country [G]air
[D]I k[G]now what you told me,
but I [C]need you to hold me,
oh [G]Lord, how I [D]wish I was [G]there.
I'm crying [C]Tennessee teardrops
right [G]up to the rooftops,
like [D]rain falling down from [G]the blue.
[C]I've got an ocean to [G]cry me an ocean
and float this [D]Tennessee
heart back to [G]you
[C]I've got an ocean to [G]cry me an ocean
and float this [D]Tennessee heart back to [G]you you
