Verse 1
Jimmy Driftwood (D major) wrote this thing.
Great song.
Hello there.
It's not about you, it's about thicker.
One, two, three.
Four, five, six.
Do we want to try a break?
Now, now your fiddle break
comes right after
I get back and whoop her brother
in her paw
and sing a chorus.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch. Yeah.
Now,
that is about as pretty a bass line
as I've heard played in something in a
long time.
I've complimented that boy back there.
That's a horse's foot in the gravel,
man, that ain't trained. (G major) (D major)
Running through a ford in the creek.
Let's see if we can put down a
take.
Where's the harmony at?
Right here?
(A major) He's (D major) talking to the
bass player. (A major)
(D major)
(C major)
(D major)
I had some trouble with
my sweetheart's pa
and (C major) one of her brothers was a bad outlaw
I (D major) sent her a letter by my uncle's foot
then I rode away on
the Tennessee Stud (A major)
(D major) The Tennessee Stud was
(C major) long and (D major) lean,
(G major) the color of the sun and
his (B flat major) eyes were (A major) green
He (D major) had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse
like the Tennessee stud (A major)
(D major) We drifted on down into no man's land
We (C major) crossed that river called the Rio Grande
I (D major) raced my horse with a Spaniard's foal
Till he got me a skin full of
(A major) silver and (D major) gold
Me and the gambler, we couldn't agree
We (C major) got in a fight over Tennessee
We (D major) jerked our guns and he fell with a thud
And I got away on the Tennessee stud
The Tennessee stud was (C major) long and (D major) lean
The (G major) color of the sun and
his (B flat major) eyes were (A major) green
He (D major) had the nerve and he had the blood
And there never was a horse
like the Tennessee (A major)
(D major) Well, I got just as lonesome as a man can be
A (C major) -dreamin' of my girl in Tennessee
The (D major) Tennessee stud's green
eyes turned blue
Cause he was a -dreamin' of
a (A major) sweetheart (D major) too
We loped right back across Arkansas
I (C major) whooped her brother and
I whooped her paw
When I (D major) found that girl with the golden hair
She was a -ridin' that Tennessee mare (A major)
(D major) The Tennessee stud was (C major) long and (D major) lean
The (G major) color of the sun
in his (B flat major) eyes were (A major) green
He (D major) had the nerve and (C major) he had the (D major) blood
And there never was a horse
like the Tennessee stud (G major) (B flat major) (A major)
(D major) (C major) (D major)
Stair up to stair up and side by side,
we (C major) crossed them mountains
and the valleys wide.
We (D major) came to Big Muddy,
then we forded a flood
on the Tennessee mare
and the Tennessee stud.
There's a pretty little
baby on the cabin floor,
a (C major) little horse coat playin' round the door.
I (D major) love that girl with the golden hair
and the Tennessee stud
loves the Tennessee mare.
There's good horses.
The Tennessee stud was (C major) long (D major) and lean,
The (G major) color of the sun
and his (B flat major) eyes were (A major) green.
And (D major) he had the nerve
and (C major) he had the (D major) blood,
And there never was a horse
like the (D major) Tennessee stud.
you
Tennessee Stud
