G Cadd9 D
G Cadd9 D
Standing on a street somewhere I don't

wanna be

In a town that's made of stone
G Cadd9 D
Some bad directions must have me
G
here by mistake
G Cadd9
'Cause this sure ain't what I call
D
home
Em Cadd9
Let me close my eyes for a second,
D
See if I can get out of here and
Chorus:
G Cadd9
Let my hair hang down and I can
D G
feel the golden sun
G Cadd9 D
And I watch a pickup truck drive by

And I wanna tell the world how good
G Em
it is to be right here but I don't,
Cadd9 D
I just sit under this tree;
D -mute G
I'm in Tennessee
Verse 2:
G Cadd9 D G
Standing on a road, leading to a farm
G Cadd9 D
With a cat named Eloise
G Cadd9 D
Later on we'll all go fishing in

the pond
G Cadd9
But all we'll catch is just a
D
summer breeze
G Cadd9
Let me close my eyes for a second,
D
See if I can stay right here and
Chorus:
G Cadd9
Let my hair hang down and I can
D G
feel the golden sun

I'm in Tennessee
Bridge:
Em Cadd9
When the farm is gone and Eloise
D
floats away
Em Cadd9 D
I find myself staring at the same old
things
Em Cadd9
I need to go back, back to where I
D
feel so free
G * Cadd9 *
Well it looks like I'm going back to
D *
Tennessee
Chorus:
G Cadd9
Let my hair hang down and I can
D G
feel the golden sun
G Cadd9 D
And I watch a pickup truck drive by
G Cadd9 D
And I wanna tell the world how good
G Em
it is to be right here but I don't,
Cadd9 D
I just sit under this tree,
Em Cadd9 D
Just me and Eloise,
D -mute G *
I'm in Tennessee
