Intro 1
(C major) (F major)
(C major) The Tennessee
Verse 1
(E minor) Loc (C major) al
is a slow -movin' train
But folks in Tennessee
never seem to complain
They like a (F major) slow ride
So (C major) they can see the countryside
I (G major) said the Tennessee Local
is a (F major) smoky little, pokey (G major) little train (C major) (F major) (C major)
You never have to worry
(E minor) about a (C major) jump in the track
They oil it with molasses,
(G major) that's what's (C major) holding it back
They (G major) like a (F major) slow ride,
so (C major) they can see (G major) the (C major) countryside
I (G major) said the Tennessee local
is (D minor) a smoky little,
pokey (C major) little tram (D minor) (C major) (F major) (C major)
(A minor) It (G major) (F major) chugs along and hugs
along an (G minor) old rusty rail
(C major) It (F major) stops at every (D minor) hamlet
to de (G minor) liver the mail
(C major) It (F major) slows at every (D minor) crossing
when it (G minor) comes to the bend
(C major) The (F major) engineer gets off
and has a (G minor) chat with (C major) a friend
(F major) You (C major) count the cows and chickens
as (G major) you (C major) ride on your way
You (G major) (C major) read the (G major) Burma (C major) signs
and understand what (G major) they say
(E minor) Cause (G major) it's a (F major) slow train
But (C major) you can see the whole (G major) terrain
I said the Tennessee to local
is a (F major) smoky little, (D minor) pokey (G major) little dream (C major) (B flat major)
(F major) (C major) (F major)
(C major) (A minor) (C major) (G major)
(D minor) (F major) (C major) (F major) (C major)
It (G major) (F major) chugs along (D minor) and hugs
along an (G major) old rusty rail. (C major)
It (F major) stops at (D minor) every Hambly
to de (G minor) liver the mail.
(F major) The boiler leaks, the (D minor) engine squeaks,
the (G minor) seats are all loose.
(C major) But the (F major) Tennessee local
has a (G minor) classic (C major) taboos.
You count the (A minor) cows and (C major) chickens
as you ride on your way.
You read the (G major) Burma signs
(C major) an (G major) d understand (C major) what they say,
cause it's a (F major) slow terrain.
(C major) But you can see (D minor) the (C major) whole (D minor) terrain.
I (G major) said the Tennessee local
is a (D minor) smoky little, poky little train (C major) (F major)
(C major) I (G major) said the Tennessee local
is a (F major) smoky little, (D minor) poky (G major) little train
(C major) (F major) (C major) (F major) (C major)
