    C                  G                  Am                    F 
 See the Redtail on her perch upon the fencepost, 
C                                G 
    Highway 40 roll on by. 
C                  G                       Am                    F 
    If I could reach across the distance for a moment, 
C                      G                         C 
    I'd steal the sadness from her eyes. 
    C               G                    Am                        F 
2.     It's February and the weather's clear for driving, 
C                                                  G 
    how I've missed your Tennessee. 
C                        G                         Am                          F 
    The morning sun just stole the shadows from the mountains, 
C                 G                       C 
    and the years away from me. 
  

G F C Yes I've changed and I knew that I was able, G E Am but you still look the same to me. F G C Am And your eyes are just as blue across the table, C G C as the sky in Tennessee.
+ Instrumental C G Am F This old farm is ne'er so big as I remember, C G now the fields are burned and brown. C G Am F The Pigeon River's running deeper than December, C G C where the Winter snows lay down. C - G Am F How you love your house and this long bed sent from Kenya, C G and the telling of the story of the woman you met there. C - G Am F She's a darkhaired beauty - my hair's only growing thinner, C G C and my threads a little bare. G F C Yes I've changed and I knew that I was able, G E Am but you still look the same to me. F G C Am And your eyes are just as blue across the table, C G C as the sky in Tennessee. Instrumental C G Am F In the silence hear the years, we dare not speak of, C G let this arrow pass on through. C G Am F And I'll be gone before my heart has met resistance, C G C like you hoped that I would do. C G Am F See the Redtail turn her wing toward the mountain, C G God there's sunlight in your smile. C G Am F If I could reach across the distance for a moment, C G C I'd steal her memory from your eyes. G F C Yes I've changed and I knew that I was able, G E Am but you still look the same to me. F G C Am And your eyes are just as blue across the table, C. G C Than the sky in Tennessee (bis)
