Intro 1
(G major)
Verse 1
Long (G major) about 1825,
I (F major) left Tennessee very much alive
I (G major) never would have made
it to the Arkansas (G minor) mud
If I hadn't been (G major) a -ridin'
on my Tenness (D major) ee stud (G major) (D major) (G major)
I had some trouble with my sweethearts
One (F major) of her brothers was a bad outlaw
I (G major) sent her a letter by my uncle's (G minor) foot
And I rode away (G major) on the
Tennessee Stud (D major) (G major)
Tennessee Stud was long (F major) and (G major) lean
The (C major) color of the sun and his
(E flat major) eyes were (D major) green (B flat major) (A major)
He (G major) had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse
like the Tennessee (D major) Stud (G major) (D major) (G major)
(A major) (B major)
We drifted on down in the
no man's land,
Across (A major) that river called Rio Grande.
I raced (B major) my horse with a Spaniard's foal,
Till I got me a skin full of silver and (F sharp major) gold. (B major)
Me and the gambler we couldn't agree,
We (A major) got in a fight over Tennessee.
We jerked (B major) our guns and
he fell with a thud
And I got away on the (F sharp major) Ten nessee stud (B major)
The Tennessee stud was long (A major) and (B major) lean
The (E major) color of the sun
and his (G major) eyes were (F sharp major) green (E major) (D major)
(F sharp major) He (B major) had the nerve and
he (A major) had the (B major) blood
There never was a horse
like the (A sharp major) Tennessee (A major) stud (G major) (B major) (F sharp major) (B major) (G major)
I got just as lonesome as a man can be
Dream (F major) in' of my girl in Tennessee
Ten (G major) nessee stud's green
eyes turned blue
Cause he was a dreamin'
of his sweetheart too
I looked right back across Arkansas
I (F major) walked her brother and I walked her pa
I found (G major) that girl with the golden hair
and she was ridin' on the
Tennessee mare (D major) (G major)
Tennessee stud was long (F major) and (G major) lean,
the (C major) color of the sun
and his (D sharp major) eyes were (D major) green (C major) (A sharp major)
(A major) He (G major) had the nerve and he
had the blood,
and there never was a horse
like the Tennessee stud (F major) (G major) (C major)
(D sharp major) (D major) (A sharp major) (A major) (G major) (D major) (G major)
(A major) (B major)
Stirrup to stirrup and side -by -side
We (A major) crossed them mountains
and the valleys wide
We came (B major) to Big Muddy
and we poured a flood
on the Tennessee mare and the
(F sharp major) Tennessee stud. (B major)
There's a pretty little baby
on the cabin floor,
(A major) the moss coat went round the door.
I love (B major) that girl with the golden hair,
and the Tennessee stud
loves the Tennessee (F sharp major) mare. (B major) (A major) (B major)
The Tennessee stud was long (A major) and (B major) lean,
the (E major) color of the sun and his
(G major) eyes were (F sharp major) green. (E major) (D major) (F sharp major)
He (B major) had the nerve and he (A major) had the (B major) blood
And there never was a horse
like the Tennessee stud
He had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse
like the Tennessee stud (B major) (A major) (B major) you
Tennessee Stud
