      C                F             C
Well, just before the sunrise in the morning

F               C             G7
I'll be on the highway headed home

C               F                  C
Home is just a little bit east of Nashville

          F         C     G7     C
Where the Tennessee River winds along
[Chorus]
F                                    Bb         F
I'm a-gonna hear the roosters crowing "Sourwood Mountains"

     Bb            F                  C
I've got that homesick feeling in my bones

     F                     Bb            F          Bb
I'll trade these traveling blues for some Tennessee sunshine

F            C            F           C
   Tennessee sun shining, you, loving you
[Verse 2]
  C                   F               C
I worked in the Texas sand, a-picking cotton

    F           C         G7
And I tried rodeoing last fall

  C                       F            C         F
I worked in a Caterpillar factory in Peoria, Illinois

    C               G7            C
And traveled Canada east of Montreal
[Chorus]
F                                    Bb         F
I'm a-gonna hear the roosters crowing "Sourwood Mountains"

     Bb            F                  C
I've got that homesick feeling in my bones

     F                     Bb            F          Bb
I'll trade these traveling blues for some Tennessee sunshine

F            C            F           C
   Tennessee sun shining, you, loving you
[Verse 3]
C              F                     C
Wonder if the folks back home will know me

F                      C           G7
Since they've saw me, I've lost 30 pounds

  C                   F                C
I sure have missed my mama's country cooking

        F                C      G7     C
And the Sunday singing's better on the ground
[Chorus]
F                                    Bb         F
I'm a-gonna hear the roosters crowing "Sourwood Mountains"

     Bb            F                  C
I've got that homesick feeling in my bones

     F                     Bb            F          Bb
I'll trade these traveling blues for some Tennessee sunshine

F            C            F           C
   Tennessee sun shining, you, loving you

          F                C

Tennessee sunshine, loving you...
