F                             F7 
I will see you in the morning 
            Bb                F 
When the moonlight leaves the trees 
            Bb             F 
But I will always feel the embers 
       C7              F  
Of the flames in Tennessee 
F                                     F7 
I was sleepin when they came knocking 
          Bb             F 
They said boy you better leave 
           Bb           F  
Said South Nashville is rockin 
         C7           F 
And they can't get no relief 
F                             F7 
So I run and put my pants on 
      Bb            F 
And I run to get my car 
        Bb                F 
But the flames they was a risin 
      C7            F 
And I didn't get to far 
F                                   F7 
There was a black man on the corner 
        Bb            F  
He said boy just turn away 
        Bb              F 
I got a gun here in my pocket 
           C7             F 
And I will take your life away 
F                                 F7 
So I showed the man your picture 
      Bb            F 
And I said we had a son 
          Bb                F 
And I was just up here from Texas 
         C7          F   
I wasn't hurting anyone 
F                           F7 
So I run out to the highway 
      Bb               F 
And I finally caught a ride 
          Bb                F 
With some white trash outta towner 
         C7              F  
With his wife and kids inside 
F                             F7 
So I sit here on the roadside 
      Bb            F 
And I talk to your machine 
Bb                     F 
I can see the flames a-risin 
     C7              F 
Over Nashville Tennessee 
F                                    F7 
Well don't go out  lookin on your TV 
           Bb             F 
They gonna keep this all  discreet 
          Bb             F   
They will never tell the secrets 
       C7              F 
Of the flames in Tennessee 
F                                 F7 
You know I hope she don't discover 
Bb                            F 
That this all was all just a lie 
          Bb                    F 
Buit If I don't get home to see her 
        C7                 F 
Then my heart will surely die 
F                             F7 
I will see you in the morning 
         Bb                   F 
When the moonlight leaves the trees 
           Bb              F 
But I will always feel the embers 
       C7         F  
Of The flames in Tennessee 
     C7                              F 
The night they burned down Nashville Tennessee
