Verse 1
Well (F major) I was born into the poorhouse,
played guitar at ten years old. (G major)
I used to sing (F major) for my mama
on the front porch then,
but I was (G major) headed for the Tennessee road.
I worked hard (E minor) an (G major) d I
paid my (E minor) dues. (A major)
When my poor mama (B minor) died,
well I cried and I cried,
(C major) that's (D major) when I (C major) started singing the blues.
(G major) These wheels,
(C major) they got me run (G major) ning
Running (E minor) for the records
Running for the money
Starring (A major) in a picture show
These wheels, (C major) they got me running (G major) (E minor)
Mark (D major) ing my time in the pages of history
Rock (C major) ing down this Tennessee road (G major)
And then the screamin' (F major) teens,
they like my tight blue jeans,
they like dirty, (G major) dirty below
They like my blue (F major) suede shoes,
they like my GI blues,
they like the (G major) way I move my hips real slow
I did my time (E minor) in the army,
though (G major) they tried to (E minor) retire me,
they (G major) couldn't put (A major) out my fire, I know
Cause the fifties (D major) was (B minor) swingin', (D major)
(B minor) and (D major) I was (B minor) the king,
(D major) revolu (C major) tion was burnin' my soul (G major)
Now these wheels, (C major)
they got me running (G major)
Running (E minor) for the women,
running for the money
Starring (A major) in a picture show
These wheels, (C major)
they got me run (G major) ning (A major) (E minor)
(G major) Mark (D major) ing my time in the pages of history
Rock (C major) ing down this Tennessee road
Interlude 1

Verse 2
Oh, come (F major) over here, honey,
help me spend my money,
the revolu (G major) tion's gone way beyond me.
Now, you (F major) look like a lady
who once had a baby,
my daugh (G major) ter named Lisa Marie.
Oh, my body (E minor) is (G major) hungry, (E minor)
but I just ain't (A major) ever satisfied.
I can't keep (D major) up with the times,
I (B minor) keep looking (D major) be hind, (B minor)
(D major) I got a (C major) gnawing feeling inside. (G major)
These (C major) wheels, they got (G major) me (C major) run (G major) ning.
I'm running (E minor) through this mansion,
running through this era,
star (A major) ring in the late, late show.
These wheels, (C major) they got me running. (G major) (A major)
(E minor) Runnin' (D major) to my mama to
come out of the darkness
and (C major) take me off this Tennessee road. (G major)
Runnin' (D major) to my mama to
come out of the darkness
and (C major) take me off this Tennessee road.
Tennessee Road
