Tennessee Stud - Johnny Cash | Guitar Chords

[Intro]
---------------------
B

[Verse 1]
---------------------
B
Back about eighteen and twentyfive
  A/E
I left Tennessee very much alive
    B
I never would've made it through the Arkansas mud
                                        B
If I hadn' t been riding on a Tennessee stud

[Verse 2]
---------------------
   B
Had some trouble with my sweetheart's pa
A
One of her brothers was a bad outlaw
 B
I wrote a letter to my Uncle Fud
                                 B
And I rode away on the Tennessee stud

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
    B                  A
The Tennessee stud was long and lean
    E
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
F# B
  He had the nerve and he had the blood
There never was a horse like the Tennessee stud

[Verse 3]
---------------------
B
Drifted on down into no man's land
  A
I crossed the river called the Rio Grande
B
I raced my horse with a Spaniard's foe
                                        B
'Til I got me a skin full of silver and gold

[Verse 4]
---------------------
B
Me and the gambler, we couldn't agree
   A/C#
We got in a fight over Tennessee
B
We pulled our guns and he fell with a thud
And I rode away on the Tennessee stud

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
    B
The Tennessee stud was long and lean
    E                        D         A/C#
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
B
He had the nerve and he had the blood
                                 A         B
There never was a horse like the Tennessee stud

[Verse 5]
---------------------
  B
I rode right back across Arkansas
              A
I whipped her brother and I whipped her Pa
  B
I found that girl with the golden hair
She was riding on a Tennessee mare

[Verse 6]
---------------------
    B
Pretty little baby on the cabin floor
                  A
Little horse colt playing 'round the door
 B
I loved the girl with the golden hair
And the Tennessee stud loves the Tennessee mare

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
    B
The Tennessee stud was long and lean
    E                        D         F#
The color of the sun and his eyes were green
  B
He had the nerve and he had the blood
                                           B   A B
There never was a horse like the Tennessee stud
