Tennessee by The Wreckers Guitar Chords


Capo on fourth fret

this is the riff after many lines during the verses,
I’m referring to it as X:


e ----------------------
B ----------------------
G ----------------------
D --0-0--2-2/4-2-0---0h2
A -----------------3----
E ----------------------

also, when switching chords often hit the bottom string at 0
and then hold to correct fret, such as:


e --3-----3-----
B --3-----3-----
G --0-----0-----
D --2-----0-----
A --0h3---2-----
E --x-----0h3---

intro:


e ------------------
B ------------------
G --0---------------
D ----4-2--0--------
A -----------0h2----
E ------------------

verse 1:
I never had all the answers
Em D (X)
I never had enough time
But, I sure had all the reasons
Em D (X)
Why you weren’t what I wanted to find

verse 2:
I never laid all my cards out
Em D (X)
You just wanted to play
The king he waited on my doorstep
Em D (X)
While the joker and me went on our way

chorus:
Maybe I was much too selfish
But baby [G/F#]you’re still on my mind[G/B]
Now I’m grown and all alone
And wishing I was [G/F#]with you tonight
Cause I can guarantee[G/B]
Things are sweeter in Tennessee

after chorus:


e ------------------------
B ------------------------
G --0---------------------
D ----4-2--0--------------
A -----------0h2--2/32-0-
E ------------------------

verse 3:
These days everything is all business
I’m never in one place for too long
There’s no lack of arms around me
Em D (X)
But I still wonder if somewhere I went wrong

chorus:
Maybe I was much too selfish
But baby [G/F#]you’re still on my mind[G/B]
Now I’m grown and all alone
And wishing I was [G/F#]with you tonight
Cause I can guarantee[G/B]
Things are sweeter in Tennessee

bridge:
And I’d wish on every star in the southern sky
For that man in our life
If I did not think that, oh

chorus:
Maybe I was much too selfish
But baby [G/F#]you’re still on my mind[G/B]
Now I’m grown and all alone
And wishing I was [G/F#]with you tonight
Cause I can guarantee[G/B]
Things are sweeter in Tennessee
Yes, I can guarantee[G/B]
Things are sweeter in Tennessee

the ending is just Cadd9 and G, sometimes sliding the high strings
like a D chord formation from 5th to 7th fret (e string)

/ : slide up
: slide down
h : hold
