G 	                      C     G              C 
Sunset on the mountain,     a half moon in the sky 
G                   Am          D        C        G 
North Star was a risin’ slowly, shinin’ in my eye 
G                   C     G                     C    
Tennessee was glowin’,    misty brown and green. 
G              Am    D       C           G 
We were all united,  singin’ to the land. 
 
Chorus 
G                       C                          F C 
We         ain’t got no diamond studded  Cadillacs. 
G                       C     G                     F C 
We         ain’t got no furry minks across our backs. 
G                      C              G                  F C 
We         don’t worry bout’ the things that we can’t see. 
G    D   C       Am   C/D 
We  got all we need…           we got Tennessee. 
 
G  D    C      D  G            
G  D    C      G   D  C    G   
 
Joe’s got rice and turkey, Mac’s got bread and wine. 
We got somethin’ special tokin’, good ole Tennessee vine. 
Sittin’ by the fire, fiddle in my hand,  
Talkin’ ‘bout the times we had, singin’ to the land. 
 
Chorus 
 
Darkness  falls behind me, crickets join in song. 
Redbird on the wire chirpin’, says to me, “So long.” 
Snowdrift grounds behind me   above the lofty pine. 
Soon I’ll be home dreamin’, Smokies by my side.
