Intro: D A D G

D
It's a big estate
A
With wrought iron gates
G                        D
And palm trees standing tall
G                        D
Fancy mirrors and chandleirs
Asus               A
Comfort wall to wall

D                     A
And the ocean air is so crisp and clear
G                   D
And they rave about our view
G                           A
But there ain't no mountain breeze
G            D/F#             A
And there ain't no hickory trees
G         D/F#         A
And this ain't Tennessee
               D     A
And she ain't you

D
There's a bedroom suite
A
Where she comes to me
G                            D
And as her fingers touch my face
G                        D
I close my eyes and I fantasize
Asus                A
Of another time and place
G                             D
What she feels is so warm and real
G                      A
And I know her love is true
G             D/F#          A
And she tries so hard to plese
G          D/F#           A
Still I think sometimes she sees
G          D/F#         A
That this ain't Tennessee
               D
And she ain't you

G                           D
It's not thatit's not good enough
G                          D
And it's not that I'm not man enough
G                        D
There's just something easy going that I love
      A               G
about you and tennessee

(Slide the Capo to the 3rd fret)

D                     A
So I made up my mind to learn my lines
G                    D
And try to play the part
G                     D
But part of me is in Tennessee
A
And deep down in my heart
D                           A
I miss my Smokey Mountain home
G                     D
And I miss your lovin too
G             D/F#       A
And it's deep inside of me
G           D/F#          A
And it's always going to be
G           D/F#         A
Cause this ain't tennessee
                 D
And she ain't you
