Intro: Eb Bb Ab Eb Bb Eb

Verse 1:
Bb     Eb                      Ab
 She asked me where I was from
              Bb               Eb
I said "Somewhere you never been to"
         Cm                Ab
Little town outside of Knoxville
        Bb
Hidden by some dogwood trees
              Eb                Ab
She tried talkin' with my accent
          Bb               Eb
We held hands and waded into
Bb         Cm
That blue water
              Ab                  Bb             Eb
She left her flip-flops by my Red Wings on the beach

Chorus:
           Eb                               Ab      Eb
Yeah but, now I'm dodging potholes in my sunburnt Silverado
         Ab             Eb                Bb
Like a heart-broke Desperado, headin' right back to my roots
            Eb                                    Ab                   Eb
Somethin' 'bout the way she kissed mе tells me she'd lovе Eastern Tennessee
           Ab                   Eb                Bb         Eb
Yeah, but all I brought back with me was some sand in my boots

Verse 2:
          Eb                Ab
I said "Let's go shoot tequila"
        Bb                   Eb
So we walked back to that beach bar
            Cm                  Ab
She said "Don't cowboys drink whiskey?"
    Bb
So we drank bottom shelf
            Eb                  Ab
She said "Damn, that sky looks perfect"
        Bb                        Eb      Bb       Cm
I said "Girl, you've never seen stars like the ones back home"
     Ab                       Bb               Eb
And she said "Maybe I should, see 'em for myself"

Chorus:
           Eb                              Ab             Eb
Yeah, but now I'm dodging potholes in my sunburnt Silverado
       Ab           Eb                  Bb
Like a heart-broke Desperado, headin' right back to my roots
           Eb                                   Ab                  Eb
Somethin' 'bout the way she kissed me tells me she'd love Eastern Tennessee
          Ab                  Eb                 Bb
Yeah, but all I brought back with me was some sand in my boots

Bridge:
       Eb              Ab
I said meet me in the mornin'
        Bb              Eb
And she told me I was crazy
Bb         Cm                    Ab               Bb
Yeah, but I still thought that maybe she'd show up

Chorus:
        Eb                              Ab        Eb
Oh, but now I'm dodging potholes in my sunburnt Silverado
      Ab            Eb                   Bb
Like a heart-broke Desperado, headin' right back to my roots
           Eb                                     Ab                  Eb
