G
I woke at the first
D
ray of moonlight
G
Slippin' through a broken window pane
I've been walkin' since
D
well past midnight
G
Headed down a westbound country lane
Em
I never was anybody could be proud of
C
D
No, I said, I to society?
G
I'm not the one that's
looking for perfection
D
G
Good enough is good enough for me
C
G
Sing me away on the wings of a blackbird
Or wings of a dove, like the song
C
G
Sing me away on a Tennessee rooster
D
That break of a Tennessee

G
D
I do not care if I get where I'm headed

Just movin' to be movin' mercy me
D
If anything holds me, I will accept it

Cause I'm not all that keen on being free
Em
Had a relation at the
Battle of New Orleans

Another was cut down at Bunker Hill
G
Same old steel provided whiskey for them
D
G
And for all I know, it always will

Sing me away on a Tennessee rooster

At break of a Tennessee dawn

Married to Charlene and Abilene
G
It lasted for a month and seven days
I can't seem to get away

from her in dreams

So I think I may head back on down that way
Em
If she's still alive and
welcomes my arrival
C
I might very well make

up my mind to stay
G
Prepared inside to find her compromised
D
G
By all that's necessary to survive
C
G
Sing me away on the wings of a blackbird
Or wings of a dove like a song

Swing me away on a

Tennessee rooster

Growing up a Tennessee dawn
D

At break of a Tennessee dawn
