The [D/B]sleepy brown [A7]woods see[G/B]m to[E/C#]
[D] [D/C#] [A7] [A7] [G/B]

[D] [D/C#] [D/B] [A7]
[G/B]Yello[E/C#]ws and grays paint the sad skies today
And I [G]wonder when [A7]you're coming [D]home
Woke up one morning
The wind through the window
Reminded me winter was just 'round the bend
Somehow I just did not see it was coming
It took me by surprise again
(Chorus)
And [Em]I hear you're [A7]in San Fran[D]cisco[D/C#]
[Bm]Living with your [Bm/A]sister who's a [G]mother to [A7]be
And [Em]her husband's [A7]way down in [D]Georgia[D/C#]
And [Bm]I'm still in [Bm/A]old Tennes[G]see...
[Em]Wishing you'd [A7]come home to [G]me

[D] [D/C#] [D/B] [A7]
[G/B]Life [E/C#]here is easy I'm sure you recall
How it's [D]so warm and [D/C#]breezy
In the [D/B]summer and the [A7]fall[G/B] [E/C#]
But [D]winter's u[D/C#]pon me
And [D/B]I've got no [A7]heat here

End of October
The sleepy brown woods seem to
Nod down their heads to the winter
Yellows and gray paint the sad skies today
And I [G]wonder when [A7]you're coming [D]home[D/C#]
I [G]wonder when [A7]you're coming [D]home[D/C#]
I [Em]wonder when [A7]you're coming [D]home
"Old Tennessee" was written when I lived on a farm outside of Nashville, as a parody of
east coast folk music. It was written about a young lady I briefly cohabited with, and
her subsequent departure. (Dan Fogelberg 6/11/97).
