Tennessee night hangs over our heads

They’ll never hold you up

In your empty room,
G A D D
you cry oh, cause no one here loves you
D A
When I come home, my bed is cold
Bm
But mostly I am warm
G A D D
I don’t feel; I don’t feel much these days
G A D D
You sing “oh God, spread your mercy over her
G A D D
I am afraid when she lays down oh at niiiight”
