      G                         C            G
Oh, a long long time ago when I left my home to roam
     G            D7
Down in the hills of Tennessee
        G                         C           G
Was the sweetest little girl that was ever in this world
     G            D7
Down in the hills of Tennessee

Chorus

           C            G
Oh, little girl of mine in Tennessee
  G                        D7
I know she’s waiting there for me
        G                   C           G
Someday I’ll settle down in that little country town
          G           D7         G
With that little girl of mine in Tennessee

Verse 2

    G                               C             G
Oh, she begged me not to go “You’ll be sorry dear I know”
        G               D7
For the way that you’ve been treating me
     G                      C             G
So I rambled all around but nothing could be found
   G              D7        G
To take the place of her in Tennessee

Verse 3

    G                                C      G
Oh, someday I’ll wander back to that little mountain shack
    G                                D7
The little girl that’s waiting there for me
      G                            C         G
I can see her smiling face waiting for me at the gate
    G              D7      G
The little girl of mine in Tennessee
