Tennessee Blues
Steve Earl / Washington Square 2008

E  E  E  A  B  |F#- A |  E  E 

E                    E
Sunset in my mirror, pedal on the floor
E                             A
Bound for New York City and I won’t be back no more
B                          |F#-           A
Won’t be back no more, boys won’t see me around
       |E             E
Goodbye guitar town

E                          E
Ghosts out on the highway, voices on the wind
E                       A
Tellin’ me we may never pass this way again
B                    |F#-          A
Voices on the highway angels beckonin’
      |E                   E
Like a long lost friend 

B                 |A        E      |
Fare thee well I’m bound to roam
B                |A       E      |
 This ain’t never been my home

E                      E
Stranger in my mirror, lines around my eyes
E                             A
String around my finger but I don’t remember why
B                       |F#-            A
Don’t remember why, boys don’t remember how
       |E             E
Goodbye guitar town

B                 |A        E      |
Fare thee well I’m bound to roam
B                |A       E      |
 This ain’t never been my home

E                          E
Blue dog on my floorboard, redhead by my side
          E                          A
Cross the mighty Hudson river to the New York City side
B                       |F#-                 A
Redhead by my side, boys sweetest thing I’ve found
       |E             E ||
Goodbye guitar town
