Tennessee Tobacco Tab

Palm mute the entire song. It also sounds good it you play without the mute.

Well she came into my doorway like a whirlwind
                               
Dragging mud and muck across my floor
                                    
She sat down in the chair where I was sitting
                             
Picked up my guitar and made a chord



And she said, "your loves like Tennessee Tobacco
                                     
And it's killing me and all I want it more
                           
Your hearts a lonely little chapel
                                    
But I love it's dusty pews and creaky floors"

   


And she said, "Babe, did you forget today is Friday?
                                        
And you promised that you'd take me to a show"
                                        
I said, "I swear the TV said that it was Monday"
                                              
And she kicked my shin and walked right out the door



She took my car and drove down to the legion
                             
Grinding all the gears as she drove
                                                 
She said, "the old guys there know how to treat a lady
                                 
And by the way your car got towed"



I said, "Your loves like Tennessee Tobacco
                                     
And it's killing me and all I want is more
                           
Your hearts a lonely little chapel
                                    
But I love it's dusty pews and creaky floors"


       (played like the verses)


E|-0-1-2- (bass E string)
                        
Well I try my best and I swear I do
                       
And my best is all I know

E|-0-1-2- (bass E string)
                            
And I'll never leave this one horse town
                    
If you decide to hang around



Well I found her in the morning at the table
                           
Hungover and staring at her spoon
                                     
And I tried to make some cakes on the griddle
                                   
She just laughed and sang her little tune



And she said, "your loves like Tennessee Tobacco
                                     
And it's killing me and all I want it more
                           
Your hearts a lonely little chapel
                                    
But I love it's dusty pews and creaky floors"



I said, "Your loves like Tennessee Tobasco
                                     
And it's killing me and all I want is more
                           
Your hearts a lonely little chapel
                                    
But I love it's dusty pews and creaky floors"
