Tennessee 1949 by Larry Sparks
Tennessee 1949
A D A
I wonder if it's rainin' in the mountains
D A
I wonder how the old town looks to--day
D A
And if the church is there beside the river
B7 E
Could I go back and find where mama lay
A D A
Does life still go to sleep just after sunset
A7 D
Are the berries still as big on the vine
A
Do old men sit and talk about the old days
E A
The way they did in nineteen forty-nine
Chorus
A7 D
Oh Oh, Oh how I'd like to be
A E E7
Back in the hills of Tennessee
A D
Oh Oh, Oh it would be so fine
A E A
If I could just go back to nineteen forty-nine
A D A
I wonder if by chance they might remember
D A
A teenage boy so wild and fancy free
D A
Who always loved guitars and country music
B7 E
If I went back would they remember me
A D A
I wonder what became of Kathryn Ackers
A7 D
The girl who broke my heart at seventeen
A
I barely can remember what she looks like
E A
Thirty years ago she was my dream
Chorus
A7 D
Oh Oh, Oh how I'd like to be
A E E7
Back in the hills of Tennessee
A D
Oh Oh, Oh it would be so fine
A E A
If I could just go back to nineteen forty-nine
A D A
For many years I've searched the wide world over
D A
For what I don't recall and didn't find
D A
And now I'm searching pictures in my memory
E A
For Tennessee in nineteen forty nine
Chorus
A7 D
Oh Oh, Oh how I'd like to be
A E E7
Back in the hills of Tennessee
A D
Oh Oh, Oh it would be so fine
A E A
If I could just go back to nineteen forty-nine

Capo 2nd Fret
Note: I put / marks just to give a basic idea of strum timing. Each / means
a down-stroke. This will help if you are playing along with the recording.
