Tennessee Blues

D7          G
If I had my way
    D          G                   D   Am  D
I'd leave here today and move in a hurry
D7             G
I know I feel loose
G7              C  C/B C/A C/G D7              G
I Know I could lose            these Tennessee Blues
D7        G       D             G
Find me a spot on some mountain top
                  D    Am  D
With lakes all around me
D7          G        D            G
Vallies and streams  birds in the trees
           D          Am  D
Lakes that surround me
D7              G   G7
A place I feel loose
                C C/B C/A C/G D7              G
A place I could lose          these Tennessee Blues
D7             G  D          G
A place to forget all my regrets
                  D        Am   D
And keep just    the good times
D7              G           D           G
A place I could sleep  with nothing but peace
                 D        Am  D
And Feel free at all times
D7             G
I know I feel loose

Someplace I could lose            these Tennessee Blues
