Verse 1
(G major) Well I was born (F major) into the poor house
Played guitar at ten years (G major) old
I used to (F major) sing for my mom
on the front porch then
But I was headed (G major) for the Tennessee road
I worked hard, (E minor) I paid my dues (A major)
And when my dear (D major) mama died
Lord, I cried and I cried
That's when I (C major) started singing these (G major) blues
And (D major) these (C major) wheels,
they had me running (G major)
Running (E minor) for the record,
running for the money,
star (A major) ring in the picture show
(C major) These wheels,
they had me run (G major) ning (D major) (E minor)
Mark (D major) ing my time in the pages of history,
rock (C major) ing down the Tennessee road (G major)
Oh those scream (F major) in' teens,
they liked my tight blue jeans
They liked it (G major) dirty, dirty below
They liked my (F major) blue suede shoes,
they liked my GI blues
They liked the (G major) way I moved
my hips real slow
Done my (D major) time (E minor) in the army,
though they tried to retire me
They couldn't put (A major) out my fire, oh no
Cause the fifties (D major) were swingin'
and I was the king
Revolution (C major) was burnin' my soul (G major)
And these (C major) wheels,
they had me run (G major) nin'
Run (E minor) nin' for the women,
runnin' for the money
Star (A major) in' in their pictures, sure
(C major) These wheels, they had me (G major) running (E minor)
Mark (D major) ing my time in the
pages of history
Rock (C major) ing down a Tennessee road (G major)

Verse 2
Come on over, (F major) honey,
help me spend my money
A revolu (G major) tion's gone way beyond me
Oh, you look (F major) like a lady
who once had a baby
My daugh (G major) ter named Lisa Marie
Oh, my (D major) body's (E minor) hungry
But it just don't ever feel sat (A major) isfied
I can't seem to change (D major) with the times
I'm always looking behind
I ain't gonna know
(C major) What I'm feeling in (G major) side
An (D major) d (G major) these (C major) wheels
Ain't got me run (G major) ning (D major)
(E minor) Runnin' through this mansion,
runnin' from this era
(A major) Starin' in the late, late show (C major)
These wheels, they got me runnin' (G major) (E minor)
(D major) Runnin' to my mama,
come out of the darkness
Take (C major) me off this Tennessee road (G major)
Run (D major) into my mama,
come out of the darkness,
take (C major) me off this Tennessee road.
