Tennessee

G I came down from the mountain C G Consumed by a passion C G D I followed the fire so far from my home G What glittered and shone C G Like diamonds and gold C G D G Soon turned to ashes and I woke up alone C G I'm down on my knees D Em Begging you please G D G C/G G Take me back, take me back Tennessee A promise and a ring Are dangerous things In the hands of a love untrue and unkind My heart it was taken Lied to forsaken Now you're the only one left that I believe I'm down on my knees Begging you please Take me back, take me back Tennessee I never did forget The day we first met Your soft gentle hills kindly offered me rest I'm sorry and I'm tired Of wandering and lying But you'll make a honest girl of me yet
