          G     
Well it's late at night on this old turnpike 
       F 
And my heads spinning round and around 
       C                   C/B 
It's a long, long way from New York to Texas 
     Am                     D 
I've been through a million towns 
          G 
Well it's get off the bus and get on the stage 
    F 
The band and the boys and me 
     C                   C/B 
Take me to Alabama, Mississippi, Montana 
           Am                    D 
They don't want me back in Tennessee 
  
      G                  F 
Tennessee. how could you do this to me 
           C                      C/B 
I gave you some of the best of my days 
      Am    C       D     C 
Ain't no reason for me to stay 
      G                 F 
Tennessee, you took the life out of me 
     C              C/B  
What little money I made 
         Am       C/B     C        D   Cm   G 
I either drank it up or I gave it away
 
 
 
 
I've tried so long to sell my songs 
But Nashville wasn't the place 
All I got for my trouble was fighting mad 
And the door slammed in my face
