Tennessee ? The Wreckers
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tabbed by: Steph
Email: clichedplatitude@hotmail.com
Tuning: standard
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
such as:
Cadd9 G
e|--3-----3-----| B|--3-----3-----| G|--0-----0-----| D|--2-----0-----| A|--0h3---2-----| E|--x-----0h3---|

intro:
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
e|------------------| B|------------------| G|--0---------------| D|----4-2--0--------| A|-----------0h2----| E|------------------|

verse 1:
Cadd9 G
I never had all the answers
Em D (X)
I never had enough time
Cadd9 G
I sure had all the reasons
Em D (X)
Why you weren't what I wanted to find
verse 2:
Cadd9 G
I never layed all my cards out
Em D (X)
You just wanted to play
Cadd9 G
The king he waited on my doorsteps
Em D (X)
While the joker in me went on our way
chorus:
Cadd9 D
Maybe I was much too selfish
G D/F# C C G/B
But baby you're still on my mind
Cadd9 D
Now I'm grown and all alone
G D/F# Em
And wishing I was with you tonight
C C G/B D
Cause I can guarantee
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Things are sweeter in Tennessee
after chorus:
e|------------------------| B|------------------------| G|--0---------------------| D|----4-2--0--------------| A|-----------0h2--2/3\2-0-| E|------------------------|

verse 3:
Cadd9 G
These days everything is all business
Em D
I'm never in one place for too long
Cadd9 G
There's no lack of arms around me
Em D (X)
But I still wonder if somewhere I went wrong
chorus:
Cadd9 D
Maybe I was much too selfish
G D/F# C C G/B
But baby you're still on my mind
Cadd9 D
Now I'm grown and all alone
G D/F# Em
And wishing I was with you tonight
C C G/B D
Cause I can guarantee
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Things are sweeter in Tennessee
bridge:
Am Em
And I'd wish on every star in the southern sky
C
For that man in our life
D
If I did not think that, oh
chorus:
Cadd9 D
Maybe I was much too selfish
G D/F# C C G/B
But baby you're still on my mind
Cadd9 D
Now I'm grown and all alone
G D/F# Em
And wishing I was with you tonight
C C G/B D
Cause I can guarantee
Cadd9 G
Things are sweeter in Tennessee
Cadd9 G/B
Yes, I can guarantee
Cadd9 G Cadd9 G
Things are sweeter in Tennessee
the ending is just Cadd9 and G, sometimes sliding the high strings like a D chord
from 5th to 7th fret (e string)
| / slide up
| \ slide down
| h hold
| x Mute note
