Tennessee Stud (Jackie Brown)

 215. Tennessee Stud (Jackie Brown) page 1

B (I) Back about eighteen and twenty five I [A] left Tennessee very much alive

B (I) I never would've made it through the Arkansas mud

If I hadn't been riding on the F# (V) Tennessee B (I) stud

B (I) Had some trouble with my sweetheart's Pa

[A] One of her brothers was a bad outlaw 

B (I) I wrote a letter to my uncle Spud 

And I rode away on the F# (V) Tennessee B (I) stud

Chorus: The B (I) Tennessee Stud was [A] long and B (I) lean

The E (IV) color of the sun and his [D] eyes were F# (V) green

B (I) He had the nerve and he had the blood

There never was a horse like F# (V) Tennessee B (I) stud

B (I) Drifted on down into no man's land

[A] Across the river called the Rio Grande

B (I) Raced my horse with the Spaniard's foe

'Til I got me a skin full of F# (V) silver and B (I) gold 

B (I) Me and the gambler, we couldn't agree

We [A] got in a fight over Tennessee

B (I) Pulled our guns and he fell with a thud

And I rode away on a F# (V) Tennessee B (I) stud

Chorus 

B (I) I rode right back across Arkansas

I [A] whipped her brother and I whipped her Pa

B (I) I found that girl with the golden hair

She was riding on a F# (V) Tennessee B (I) mare

B (I) Pretty little baby on the cabin floor

[A] Little horse colt playing round the door

B (I) I loved the girl with the golden hair

And the Tennessee stud loves the F# (V) Tennessee B (I) mare

Chorus
