long bed from kenya capo 4th fret 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 . Chorus 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 .

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 )
