Tennessee The Wreckers
Capo on fourth fret
this is the riff after many lines during the verses,
I'm referring to it as X:
e ---------------------- B ---------------------- G ---------------------- D --0-0--2-2/4-2-0---0h2 A -----------------3---- E ----------------------
also, when switching chords often hit the bottom string at 0
and then hold to correct fret, such as:
[Cadd9] [G]
e --3-----3----- B --3-----3----- G --0-----0----- D --2-----0----- A --0h3---2----- E --x-----0h3---
intro:
[Cadd9] [G] [Cadd9] [G]
e ------------------ B ------------------ G --0--------------- D ----4-2--0-------- A -----------0h2---- E ------------------
verse 1:
[Cadd9]I never had all the [G]answers
Em D (X)
I never had enough time
But, [Cadd9]I sure had all the [G]reasons
Em D (X)
Why you weren't what I wanted to find
verse 2:
[Cadd9]I never laid all my c[G]ards out
Em D (X)
You just wanted to play
[Cadd9]The king he waited on my [G]doorstep
Em D (X)
While the joker and me went on our way
chorus:
[Cadd9]Maybe I was [D]much too selfish
But [G]baby [G/F#]you're still on my [C]mind[C] [G/B]
Now I'm[Cadd9] grown and [D]all alone
And [G]wishing I was [G/F#]with you[Em] tonight
Cause I [C]can guarantee[C] [G/B] [Am7]
Things are sweeter in [Cadd9]Tennessee[G] [Cadd9] [G]
after chorus:
e ------------------------ B ------------------------ G --0--------------------- D ----4-2--0-------------- A -----------0h2--2/3\2-0- E ------------------------
verse 3:
[Cadd9]These days everything is al[G]l business
I'm [Em]never in one place for t[D]oo long
[Cadd9]There's no lack of arms ar[G]ound me
Em D (X)
But I still wonder if somewhere I went wrong
chorus:
[Cadd9]Maybe I was [D]much too selfish
But [G]baby [G/F#]you're still on my [C]mind[C] [G/B]
Now I'm[Cadd9] grown and [D]all alone
And [G]wishing I was [G/F#]with you[Em] tonight
Cause I [C]can guarantee[C] [G/B] [Am7]
Things are sweeter in [Cadd9]Tennessee[G] [Cadd9] [G]
bridge:
[Am]And I'd wish on every star in the[Em] southern sky
For that [C]man in our life
If [D]I did not think that, oh
chorus:
[Cadd9]Maybe I was [D]much too selfish
But [G]baby [G/F#]you're still on my [C]mind[C] [G/B]
Now I'm[Cadd9] grown and [D]all alone
And [G]wishing I was [G/F#]with you[Em] tonight
Cause I [C]can guarantee[C] [G/B] [Am7]
Things are sweeter in [Cadd9]Tennessee[G]
Yes, I c[Cadd9]an guarantee[G/B]
Things are sweeter in [Cadd9]Tennessee[G] [Cadd9] [G]
the ending is just Cadd9 and G, sometimes sliding the high strings
like a D chord formation from 5th to 7th fret (e string)
/ : slide up
\ : slide down
h : hold
