Intro: D A D G
D
It's a big estate
A
With wrought iron gates
G D
And palm trees standing tall
G D
Fancy mirrors and chandleirs
Asus A
Comfort wall to wall
D A
And the ocean air is so crisp and clear
G D
And they rave about our view
G A
But there ain't no mountain breeze
G D/F# A
And there ain't no hickory trees
G D/F# A
And this ain't Tennessee
D A
And she ain't you
D
There's a bedroom suite
A
Where she comes to me
G D
And as her fingers touch my face
G D
I close my eyes and I fantasize
Asus A
Of another time and place
G D
What she feels is so warm and real
G A
And I know her love is true
G D/F# A
And she tries so hard to plese
G D/F# A
Still I think sometimes she sees
G D/F# A
That this ain't Tennessee
D
And she ain't you
G D
It's not thatit's not good enough
G D
And it's not that I'm not man enough
G D
There's just something easy going that I love
A G
about you and tennessee
(Slide the Capo to the 3rd fret)
D A
So I made up my mind to learn my lines
G D
And try to play the part
G D
But part of me is in Tennessee
A
And deep down in my heart
D A
I miss my Smokey Mountain home
G D
And I miss your lovin too
G D/F# A
And it's deep inside of me
G D/F# A
And it's always going to be
G D/F# A
Cause this ain't tennessee
D
And she ain't you
