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]

[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]

[Verse 3]
D 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)
