Tom: F#
F#
[Verse 1]
F#
I might say things differently than the other people out here
F#
When I was young, Johnny taught me to love where I came from with no fear
F#
And what I would give to run through the trees in that Tennessee breeze again
F#
Its not just land and dirt, It's where we learned to love the hearts of one another
[Pre-Chorus]
B F# B F#
And all through the night, we chased the light of those fireflies
B F# B F#
Just like our dreams, somewhere in the depths of my ancient mind
B F#
I'm just trying to make sense of it all
B F# B F#
But how can I expect to go out without a place to fall back on
[Chorus]
B
Because you'll never know
F#
Just what you've seen
Until you come home again
B
So I'll live out my dreams
F#
But forever for Tennessee
Oh I love me some Tennessee
[Pre-Chorus]
B F# B F#
And all through the night, we chased the light of those fireflies
B F#
Just like our dreams, somewhere in the depths of my ancient mind
B F#
I'm just trying to make sense of it all
B F# B F#
But how can I expect to go out without a place to fall back on
[Chorus]
B
Because you'll never know
F#
Just what you've seen
Until you come home again
B
So I'll live out my dreams
C#
But forever for Tennessee
F#
Oh I love me some Tennessee
B F# B F#
[Verse 2]
B F#
Forever I owe my mind and my heart and my soul to Tennessee
B F#
You're only as far as you set out to be in your mind
It's a crime to forget where you came from when you came from
B F#
The mountains and the rivers and the cities and the dark magnolia green
B F#
So I owe my gratitude, my fortitude, my attitude towards life the way it is
[Refrain]
B F#
Pulsing, thinking, weary hours
Dreaming of my time spent homeward
B F#
Pulsing, thinking, weary hours
Dreaming of my time spent homeward
B F#
Pulsing, thinking, weary hours
Dreaming of my time spent homeward
B F#
Pulsing, thinking, weary hours
Dreaming of my time spent homeward
[Outro]
B F#
Tennessee, Tennessee
B F#
Tennessee, Tennessee
