Hank Williams Jr. – Tennessee Stud (Guitar Solo)

D
Back about 1825

  Cadd9
I left Tennessee very much alive

  D                              Cadd9
I never would've got through the Arkansas mud

     Cadd9                       G         D
If I hadn't been a ridin' on the Tennessee Stud

  D
I had some trouble with my sweetheart's pa

Cadd9
One of his brothers was a bad outlaw

  D
I sent her a letter by my Uncle Fudd

    Cadd9              G         D
And I rode away on the Tennessee Stud

    D
The Tennesee Stud was long and lean

    Cadd9                    F         A
The color of the sun and his eyes were green

D
He had the nerve and he had the blood

          Cadd9                      G         D
And there never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud

   D
We drifted on down onto no man's land

   Cadd9
We crossed the river called the Rio Grande

  D
I raced my horse with a Spaniard foal

    Cadd9                 G          D
A I won me a skin full of silver and gold

D
Me and a gambler we couldn't agree

   Cadd9
We got in a fight over Tennessee

   D
We jerked our guns and he fell with a thud

    Cadd9             G         D
And I got away on the Tennessee Stud

       D
Well I got just as lonesome as a man can be

Cadd9
Dreaming of my girl in Tennessee

    D
The Tennessee Stud's green eyes turned blue

       Cadd9                  G          D
'Cause he was dreaming of his sweetheart too

   D
We loped across to Arkansas

  Cadd9
I whipped her brother and whipped her pa

  D
I found that girl with the golden hair

    Cadd9                   G         D
And she was a riding on the Tennessee Mare

        D
Now the Tennessee Stud was long and lean

    C                        F         A
The color of the sun and his eyes were green

D
He had the nerve and he had the blood

          Cadd9                      G         D
And there never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud

D
Stirrup to stirrup and side by side

   Cadd9
We crossed the mountains and the valleys wide

   D
We came to Big Muddy and we forded the flood

        Cadd9                  G         D
And the Tennessee Mare and the Tennessee Stud

       D
Now we got a pretty little baby on the cabin floor

  Cadd9
A little horse colt playin' 'round the door

    D
And I love the girl with the golden hair

        Cadd9                    G         D
And the Tennessee Stud loves the Tennessee Mare

    D
The Tennessee Stud was long and lean

    Cadd9                    F         A
The color of the sun and his eyes were green

D
He had the nerve and he had the blood

          Cadd9                      G         D
And there never was a horse like the Tennessee Stud
