INTRO: G  D  G  C  G  D  A  C  G  D  G

G                                          D
You can put me in the ocean, stranded in a boat
                                    G
Put me on an island, no bottle or a note
                                                D
Put me on a Greyhound bus with a dog behind the wheel
                                                                G
You can tie me up but you'll still get stuck with hearin' how I feel


Drop me in Alaska, in thirty feet of snow
Drop me at the old North Pole where the Eskimos won't go
Drop me in the desert with the king of the burning sand
Ring my bell but I'll still tell you how I really stand


CHORUS:
G                                 D
Get me back to Dixie, I love my Tennessee
                                              G
In the Smokey Mountains, that's where I wanna be
                                               C
From the Muddy Mississippi to the land of the Cherokee
               G        D            A    C   
Get me back to Dixie, I love my Tennessee
          G       D   G
Love my Tennessee


SOLO


Run me up a mountain where only eagles fly
Throw me down a cold dark well where I can't see the sky
Tie me to the railroad tracks and read me my last rights
'Long as that old train don't stop 'til Tennessee's in sight


CHORUS:
G                                   D
Get me back to Dixie, I love my Tennessee
                                              G
In the Smokey Mountains, that's where I wanna be
                                               C
From the Muddy Mississippi to the land of the Cherokee
               G        D            G
Get me back to Dixie, I love my Tennessee
C              G        D            A     C               
Get me back to Dixie, I love my Tennessee
            A      C   D   G/
Love my Tennessee
