Old Tennessee Dan Fogelberg
Ok guys (and ladies)...I've used a lot of songs here. Some have been done well,
others...not so much. Harlan at Hawaii.edu is usually spot on with his tabs. This one I'm
submitting is alos spot on. Great song. Enjoy.

[D]End of Oc[D/C#]tober
The [D/B]sleepy brown [A7]woods see[G/B]m to[E/C#]
[D] [D/C#] [A7] [A7] [G/B]

[D] [D/C#] [D/B] [A7]
[G/B]Yello[E/C#]ws and grays paint the sad skies today
And I [G]wonder when [A7]you're coming [D]home
Woke up one morning
The wind through the window
Reminded me winter was just 'round the bend
Somehow I just did not see it was coming
It took me by surprise again
(Chorus)
And [Em]I hear you're [A7]in San Fran[D]cisco[D/C#]
[Bm]Living with your [Bm/A]sister who's a [G]mother to [A7]be
And [Em]her husband's [A7]way down in [D]Georgia[D/C#]
And [Bm]I'm still in [Bm/A]old Tennes[G]see...
[Em]Wishing you'd [A7]come home to [G]me

[D] [D/C#] [D/B] [A7]
[G/B]Life [E/C#]here is easy I'm sure you recall
How it's [D]so warm and [D/C#]breezy
In the [D/B]summer and the [A7]fall[G/B] [E/C#]
But [D]winter's u[D/C#]pon me
And [D/B]I've got no [A7]heat here
And [G]I miss your [A7]fire so [Bm]sweet
[Bm/A]Dear [G]I miss your [A7]fire so [D]sweet
(Chorus)

End of October
The sleepy brown woods seem to
Nod down their heads to the winter
Yellows and gray paint the sad skies today
And I [G]wonder when [A7]you're coming [D]home[D/C#]
I [G]wonder when [A7]you're coming [D]home[D/C#]
I [Em]wonder when [A7]you're coming [D]home
"Old Tennessee" was written when I lived on a farm outside of Nashville, as a parody of
east coast folk music. It was written about a young lady I briefly cohabited with, and
her subsequent departure. (Dan Fogelberg 6/11/97).
