Larry Sparks - Tennessee 1949

I^A wonder if it's^D rainin' in the m^Aountains I wonder how the ol^Dd town looks to--^Aday And i^Df the church is there beside the ri^Aver Could I^B7 go back and find where mam^Ea lay

Does ^Alife still go to sl^Deep just after sun^Aset Are the berries still as bi^A7g on the vi^Dne Do old men sit and talk about the ol^Ad days The way they did in ni^Eneteen forty-n^Aine

Oh Oh^A7, Oh how^D I'd like to be B^Aack in the hills of Te^Ennessee^E7 O^Ah Oh, Oh it^D would be so fine If I^A could just go b^Eack to nineteen f^Aorty-nine

I won^Ader if by chanc^De they might rem^Aember A teenage boy so wil^Dd and fancy f^Aree Who a^Dlways loved guitars and country mus^Aic If I we^B7nt back would they remember^E me

I won^Ader what bec^Dame of Kathryn Ack^Aers The girl who broke my h^A7eart at sev^Denteen I barely can remember what she looks^A like Thirty years a^Ego she was my ^Adream

Oh Oh^A7, Oh how^D I'd like to be B^Aack in the hills of Te^Ennessee^E7 O^Ah Oh, Oh it^D would be so fine If I^A could just go b^Eack to nineteen f^Aorty-nine

For m^Aany years I've ^Dsearched the wide world^A over For what I don't rec^Dall and didn'^At find And no^Dw I'm searching pictures in my memo^Ary For Tennessee in n^Eineteen forty ^Anine

Oh Oh^A7, Oh how^D I'd like to be B^Aack in the hills of Te^Ennessee^E7 O^Ah Oh, Oh it^D would be so fine If I^A could just go b^Eack to nineteen f^Aorty-nine
