New Found Glory – Tennessee (Ukulele)

C Dadd11
Lord I've really been real stressed

Am7 Fadd9
Down and out, losin ground

C Dadd11
Although I am black and proud

Am7 Fadd9
Problems got me pessimistic

C Dadd11
Brothers and sisters keep messin up

Am7 Dadd11
Why does it have to be so damn tuff?

C Dadd11
I don't know where I can go

Am7 Fadd9
To let these ghosts out of my skull

C Dadd11
My grandmas past, my brothers gone

Am7 Fadd9
I never at once felt so alone

C Dadd11
I know you're supposed to be my steering wheel

Am7 Fadd9
Not just my spare tire

C Dadd11
But lord I ask you

Am7 Fadd9
To be my guiding force and truth

C Fadd9
For some strange reason it had to be

G
He guided me to Tennessee

C Fadd9
Take me to another place

C Fadd9
Take me to another land

C Fadd9
Make me forget all that hurts me

Am7 G
Let me understand your plan

C Dadd11
Lord it's obvious we got a relationship

Am7 Fadd9
Talkin to each other every night and day

C Dadd11
Although you're superior over me

Am7 Fadd9
We talk to each other in a friendship way

C Dadd11
Then outta nowhere you tell me to break

Am7 Fadd9
Outta the country and into more country

C Dadd11
Past Dyesburg into Ripley

Am7 Fadd9
Where the ghost of childhood haunts me

C Dadd11
Walk the roads my forefathers walked

Am7 Fadd9
Climbed the trees my forefathers hung from

C Dadd11
Asked those trees for all their wisdom

Am7 Fadd9
They tell me my ears are so young

C Dadd11
Go back to from whence you came

Am7 Fadd9
My family tree my family name

C Fadd9
For some strange reason it had to be

G
He guided me to Tennessee

C Dadd11
Now I see the importance of history

Am7 Fadd9
Why people be in the mess that they be

C
Many journeys to freedom made in vain

C Dadd11
I ask you lord why you enlightened me

Am7 Fadd9
Without the enlightment of all my folks

C Dadd11
He said cuz I set myself on a quest for truth

Am7 Fadd9
And he was there to quench my thirst

Am7
But I am still thirsty...

C Dadd11
The lord allowed me to drink some more

Am7 Fadd9
He said what I am searchin for are

C Dadd11
The answers to all which are in front of me

Am7 Fadd9
The ultimate truth started to get blurry

C Fadd9
For some strange reason it had to be

G
It was all a dream about Tennessee
