[Intro]
D G
[Verse 1]
G C On a morning bright and clear, to my old home I did fare D G Just a village down in sunny Tennessee G C I was speeding on a train that would bring me back again D G To that girl I left in sunny Tennessee
[Chorus]
G C G I could hear the old folks singin' as she bid farewell to me G A D Far across the fields of cotton, my old homestead I could see G C G As the moon rose in its glory, then I told my sweetest story D G To the girl I left in sunny Tennessee
[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
G C The old train drew up at last all the familar scenes had passed D G And I kissed my mother at the station door G C All the crowds that gathered round tears on every face I found D G But I missed the one that I'd been longing for
[Chorus]
G C G I could hear the old folks singin' as she bid farewell to me G A D Far across the fields of cotton, my old homestead I could see G C G As the moon rose in its glory, then I told my sweetest story D G To the girl I left in sunny Tennessee
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
G G7 C Then I whispered mother dear where is Mary she's not here D G all the world seemed lost and sadness came to me G G7 C For she pointed to a spot in that little old church yard lot D D7 G Where my Mary sleeps in sunny Tennessee
[Chorus]
G C G I could hear the old folks singin' as she bid farewell to me G A D Far across the fields of cotton, my old homestead I could see G C G As the moon rose in its glory, then I told my sweetest story D G To the girl I left in sunny Tennessee
