If I had my way
    D          G                   D   Am  D  
I'd leave here today and move in a hurry

I know I feel loose
G7              C  C/B C/A C/G D7              G
I Know I could lose            these Tennessee Blues
D7        G       D             G
Find me a spot on some mountain top
                  D    Am  D
With lakes all around me
D7          G        D            G          
Vallies and streams  birds in the trees
           D          Am  D
Lakes that surround me

A place to forget all my regrets

And keep just    the good times
D7              G           D           G         
A place I could sleep  with nothing but peace  
                 D        Am  D
And Feel free at all times
D7             G
