Long bed from Kenya
Capo 4th fret
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1)See the Redtail on her perch upon the fencepost,
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) Highway 40 roll on by.
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) If I could reach across the distance for a moment,
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) I'd steal the sadness from her eyes.
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) Am (x02210@1) F2. (133211@1) It's February and the weather's clear for driving,
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) how I've missed your Tennessee.
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) The morning sun just stole the shadows from the mountains,
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) and the years away from me.
Chorus
G (320003@1) F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) Yes I've changed and I knew that I was able,
G (320003@1) E (022100@1) Am (x02210@1) but you still look the same to me.
F (133211@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) And your eyes are just as blue across the table,
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1)
as the sky in Tennessee.

C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) now the fields are burned and brown.
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) The Pigeon River's running deeper than December,
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) where the Winter snows lay down.

C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) and the telling of the story of the woman you met there.
C (x32010@1) - G (320003@1) Am (x02210@1) F (133211@1) She's a darkhaired beauty - my hair's only growing thinner,
C (x32010@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) and my threads a little bare.
G (320003@1) F (133211@1) C (x32010@1) Yes I've changed and I knew that I was able,
G (320003@1) E (022100@1) Am (x02210@1) but you still look the same to me.
F (133211@1) G (320003@1) C (x32010@1) Am (x02210@1) And your eyes are just as blue across the table,
