Chords

[Verse 1]
E                 D
I was raised on a Tennessee hillside

A                             D
Where blackberry bushes grow thick (Grow thick)

E                           D
With feet like the soul of a workin' man's boot

A                                D
And a head like a weight made of lead

E                                   D
Crooked grin, thorn stickin' out my shoulder

A                    D
Hair too damn long, oh well (Oh well)

E                              D
They tell me take a break, I'm sorry I can't

A                             D
Tennesseans make music year 'round (Year round)
[Chorus]
E             D       A                     D
I can't help it, God put me in a place of green

E               D          A                D
Even the tractors got the same damn color paint

E                             D
Same ol' rivers and same ol' streams

                  A                D
Cut that exhaust off, son, let it scream

               E                        D
God bless the south, I'll never shut my mouth

A                         D
And I'm proud to be from Tennessee

E       D   A
Tennessee, Tennessee

D                        E      D A D
I'm proud to be from Tennessee, mmm
[Verse 2]
E                         D
My favorite shirt has the arms cut out

A                          D
With a couple old tobacco stains (Tobacco stains)

E                                        D
I've burnt up every Kenny Chesney album drinkin' Coors Light (Drinkin' Coors Light)

A                   D
Been sunburnt on a lake (On a lake)

E                    D
And I wanna know how forever feels (Forever feels)

A                      D
But not in no hall of fame (Hall of fame)

E                                  D
'Cause I'll always be in a holler with the workin' man (Workin' man)

A                                D
And that's somethin' nobody can take (Nobody can take)
[Chorus]
E             D       A                     D
I can't help it, God put me in a place of green

E               D          A                D
Even the tractors got the same damn color paint

E                             D
Same ol' rivers and same ol' streams

                  A                D
Cut that exhaust off, son, let it scream

               E                        D
God bless the south, I'll never shut my mouth

A                         D
And I'm proud to be from Tennessee

E       D   A
Tennessee, Tennessee

D                        E
I'm proud to be from Tennessee
