^ENow there are folks who like to brag about where they ^F#7came from But ^B7when they start that stuff I let 'em ^Ebe But it makes me feel like I wanna ^F#7brag some To ^B7know that I come from the state of Tennes^Esee

^ELet's give old Tennessee credit for m^B7usic As they play it up in Nashville every^Eday Let's give old Tennessee credit for ^Amusic As they ^B7play it in that old Hillbilly ^Eway

^EMister Red Foley came from K^F#7entucky Now Ernest ^B7Tubb down in Texas don't you ^Esee But if all you folks out there can ^F#7remember Mister ^B7Eddy Arnold came from Tennes^Esee

^EThey make bombs they say that can blow up our w^F#7orld dear Well a ^B7country boy like me I will ^Eagree But if all you folks out there will ^F#7remember They ^B7made the first atomic bomb in Tennes^Esee
