TENNESSEE STUD CHORDS
[Start] [Verse] B ■ Back about eighteen and twenty five A I left Tennessee very much alive B I never would've made it through the Arkansas mud B If I hadn't been riding on the Tennessee stud B Had some trouble with my sweetheart's Pa A One of her brothers was a bad outlaw B I wrote a letter to my uncle Spud Gbsus4 B And I rode away on the Tennessee stud ■ A B The Tennessee Stud was long and lean E Gb The color of the sun and his eyes were green B He had the nerve and he had the blood Gbsus4 There never was a horse like Tennessee stud Gbsus4 Drifted on down into no man's land A Across the river called the Rio Grande B ■ Raced my horse with the Spaniard's foe B 'til I got me a skin full of silver and gold B Me and the gambler we couldn't agree A We got in a fight over Tennessee B Pulled our guns and he fell with a thud B And I rode away on a Tennessee stud E The Tennessee stud was long and lean Gb The color of the sun and his eyes were green B He had the nerve and he had the blood Gbsus4 B There was never a horse like the Tennessee stud [Chorus] Gbsus4 B ■ ■ I rode right back across Arkansas A I whipped her brother and I whipped her Pa B ■ I found that girl with the golden hair B She was riding on a Tennessee mare [Verse] B Pretty little baby on the cabin floor A Amaj7 Little horse colt playing round the door ■ A B ■ I loved the girl with the golden hair B And the Tennessee stud loves the Tennessee mare E The Tennessee stud was long and lean Gb The color of the sun and his eyes were green B He had the nerve and he had the blood Gb There was never a horse like the Tennessee stud [Outro] B E D Gb B ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ [End]
