Old Tennessee - Dan Fogelberg
Capo: 2
 
[Verse 1]
D      D/C#
End of October
D/B              A7
The sleepy brown woods seem to 
D              Bm           G       A7
Nod down their heads to the Winter 
D           Bm              G         A7
Yellows and grays paint the sad skies today
      G           A7            D
And I wonder when you're coming home
 
[Verse 2]
D           D/C#
Woke up one morning
D/B                  A7
The wind through the window
D           Bm         G               A7
Reminded me winter was just 'round the bend
D         D/C#         G          A7
Somehow I just did not see it was coming
   G          A7         D
It took me by surprise again
 
[Chorus]
    Em            A7          D     D/C#
And I hear you're in  San Francisco
Bm                D/B           G         A7
Living with your sister who's a mother to be
    Em            A7          D       D/C#
And her husband's way down in Georgia 
      Bm           D/B          G
And   I'm still in old   Tennessee...
Em            A7           D
Wishing you'd come home to me
 
[Verse 3]
D            D/C#     D/B        A7
Life here is easy I'm sure you recall
         D           D/C#
How it's so warm and breezy
       D/B            A7
In the summer and the fall
    D          D/C#
But winter's upon me
    G           A7
And I've got no heat here
    G           A7      Bm
And I miss your fire so sweet
         G           A7      D
Dear     I miss your fire so sweet
 
[Chorus]
    Em            A7          D     D/C#
And I hear you're in  San Francisco
Bm               D/B            G         A7
Living with your sister who's a mother to be
    Em            A7          D       D/C#
And her husband's way down in Georgia 
    Bm             D/B         G
And   I'm still in old   Tennessee...
Em            A7           D
Wishing you'd come home to me
 
[Verse 4]
D          D/C#
End of October
     D/B         A7
The sleepy brown woods seem to 
D              Bm           G       A7
Nod down their heads to the Winter 
D             Bm            G            A7
Yellows and grays paint the sad skies today
      G           A7            D
And I wonder when you're coming home
 
[Outro]
  G           A7            D
I wonder when you're coming home
  G           A7            D
I wonder when you're coming home
