             B7                         E 
down through hollers and up through the falls 
A                                   D 
when that mornin sun shined on that tennessee state line

I rolled up to this honky tonk on broadway 
              B7                              E 
and the band played as I strolled through the door 
   A                          D 
I sat down in my seat shouted play some jerry reed 
            A                E                    A 
they played amos moses and I damn near fell on the floor 

well they played waylon, hank, johnny, merle and george jones 
B7                                 E 
me and the boys drank and sang off key 
          A                       D 
and that guitar pickin man walked over with a little grin 
        A                      E              A 
said what brings you boys down here to Tennessee
