Verse 1
(G major) (C major) (G major) (D major) (G major) I woke at the first
ray of (D major) moonlight
Slippin' through a broken window pane (G major)
I've been walkin' since
well past mid (D major) night
Headed down a westbound country lane (G major)
I never was (E minor) anybody could be proud of
No, (C major) I said, I to society? (D major)
I'm (G major) not the one that's
looking for perfection
Good (D major) enough is good enough for (G major) me
Sing (C major) me away on the (G major) wings of a blackbird
Or wings of a dove, like the song
Sing (C major) me away on a (G major) Tennessee rooster
That break of a (D major) Tennessee
dawn (G major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
(D minor)
(G major) I do (G minor) not care if I (G major) get where I'm (D major) headed
Just movin' to be movin' mercy me (G major)
If anything holds me, I will ac (D major) cept it
Cause I'm not all that keen on being free (G major)
Had a rela (E minor) tion at the
Battle of New Orleans
Another (C major) was cut down at Bunker (D major) Hill
Same (G major) old steel provided whiskey for them
And for (D major) all I know, it always (G major) will
Sing (C major) me away on the (G major) wings of a blackbird
Or wings of a dove like the song
Sing (C major) me away on a (G major) Tennessee rooster
At break of a (D major) Tennessee dawn
(G major) (D major) (G major) (C major) (G minor) (G major)
(D major) (G major)
Married to Charlene and Abi (D major) lene
It lasted for a month and seven days (G major)
I can't seem to get away
from her in (D major) dreams
So I think I may head back on down that (G major) way
If she's (E minor) still alive and
welcomes my arrival
I (C major) might very well make
up my mind to (D major) stay
Prepared (G major) inside to find her compromised
By (D major) all that's necessary to sur (G major) vive
Sing (C major) me away on the (G major) wings of a blackbird
Or wings of a dove like a song
Swing (C major) me away on a
(G major) Tennessee rooster
Growing up a (D major) Tennessee dawn (G major)
At break of a Tennessee (D major) dawn (G major)
Tennessee Dawn
