Her [g] eyes were blue, her hair was [d7] auburn

Her smile was like an angel [g] fair

She was her daddy's only [d7] daughter

On the tennessee [g] border [g7]



Chorus

One [c] night i took a ride just across the [g] line

I [a7] picked her up in a pickup truck

And she [d] broke this heart of [d7] mine

Her [g] mama said: "no-o, [d7] she's my only daughter,"

But we got married on the tennessee [g] border.



The roses were bloomin' [d7] there on the border

The moon was shinin' [g] there

Her personality made me [d7] want her

On the tennessee [g] border.
