[Verse 1]
G                                     C              G
Now you have heard and read about the state of Tenne-ssee
G                              A7              D
Down in the southern states is where I want to be
           G                           C                G
Where the valleys are so green and the mountains are so tall
    G                                     D               G
Now you will know just what I mean when you hear them say "y'all"


[Chorus]
       C
Tennessee (Tennessee, Tennessee)
                    G
I hear you calling me (I hear you calling me)
    G                             D              G
The home of Davey Crockett in the hills of Tenne-ssee.

[Verse 2]
    G                        C                    G
Now when I was a little boy around the folks back home
   G                              A7                  D
My mother always said to me, "Now Billy, please don't roam"
G                             C                G
Now that I have gone away, my heart is full of woe
 G                                      D               G
And when I think of mom and dad, that's where I want to go.

[Chorus]
      C
Tenne-ssee (Tennessee, Tennessee)
                   G
I hear you calling me (I hear you calling me)
    G                             D              G
The home of Davey Crockett in the hills of Tenne-ssee.

[Verse 3]
   G                      C              G
If ever I get back to the state Of Tenne-ssee
G                              A7          D
I tell you there'll be no more roaming for me
     G                            C                G
Well there lives a sweetheart who said she'd marry me
     G                      D              G
When-ever I get back to the state of Tenne-ssee


[Chorus]
      C
Tenne-ssee (Tennessee, Tennessee)
                   G
I hear you calling me (I hear you calling me)
