        G                                       C                        G

Oh, yes, I'm going back to my home in Tennessee,

                                                         D

back to the girl that's waiting in the cotton fields to see.

    G                                                  C                 G

There's a mother and a dad that's waiting patiently,

                                                                    D                        G

and the place I'm longing for tonight's my home in Tennessee.

1. I'll sail the skies in airplane to a place called Bunker’s Hill,

                                                                           D

    I'll drop from the clouds in a parachute and, oh, boys what a thrill.

            G                                                     C                            G

    My song shall fall in no man’s land and I'm in the great prairie,

                                                                       D                       G

    but the place I'm longing for tonight's my home in Tennessee.

2. I've been to Frisco's Golden Gate, also Bangor, Maine,

    I've been to the Rocky Mountains and back down again,

           G                                              C                  G

    and up to old New York, saw the Statue of Liberty,

                                                                       D                       G

    but the place I'm longing for tonight's my home in Tennessee.
