As recorded by Shawn Colvin (From the 1992 Album FAT CITY) [Intro] G D G D G A D G D [Verse 1]
D
I got a cool head doin' alright

                                 G
But I been up here so long I was starving

         D
For some hot spells, summer lights

D
Shinin' on your back roads

     G
Tennessee

         D
Somebody hit me hard

            Bm      C
Right in my own backyard

               D
Somebody put a hope lock on my heart

D
Runnin' down your back roads

     G
Tennessee
[Chorus]
 Bb                Gm
Oh, you got the banjo

             Bb
Playin' real slow

       Gm
Not to me, not to me

        F                   Bb
I never heard such rock and roll

           C
As on your back roads

     D       G
Tennessee (Hey)
[Interlude] D G D G D G D [Verse 2]
D
Well, I know you're not to blame

                                  G
But you know that you should have told me

             D
That I would never be the same

D
After driving down your back roads

     G
Tennessee

         D
Somebody held me tight

         Bm       C
Somebody tried to fight

         D
Somebody raced out in the night

D
Runnin' down your back roads

     G
Tennessee
[Chorus]
                   Bb
Oh, you kissed the soul of a rebel

     Gm      Bb
In a Yankee girl

       Gm
Oh, you got to me

            F                  Bb
I heard you callin' 'round the world

          C
From your back roads

     Am
Tennessee
[Bridge]
            D
Well, I saw somebody standin'

D
In a field with a crutch

           G
Behind his rich southern daddy

       Bb
With a Midas touch

             D
They said be outta here by sundown

D
They said good luck

          Bm
You might say I was the stranger

    C
Who knew too much
[Guitar Solo] D G D G D G D G D [Verse 3]

Doo doo doo doo doo doo

                            G
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo ah

                D
Somebody took a hope lock from my heart

D
And threw it down your back roads

     G
Tennessee
[Chorus]
 Bb
Oh

Gm                      Bb
You feel the north wind blow

       Gm
That's only me

        F                  Bb
I wanna hear some rock and roll

        C
On your back roads

     G/B
Tennessee

            Bb
I'm not the bad city girl

             Gm
Come down to rape you

            Bb
I'm not the hometown queen

              Gm
That wants to save you

            F             Bb
I heard you callin' to my soul

          C
From your back roads

     Am         G  D
Tennessee (Ooh yeah)
