[Verse 1]
G     C/E                    F
 She asked me where I was from
              G               C
I said "Somewhere you never been to"
         Am                F
Little town outside of Knoxville
        G
Hidden by some dogwood trees
              C/E             F
She tried talkin' with my accent
          G               C
We held hands and waded into
G         Am
That blue water
              F                  G             C
She left her flip-flops by my Red Wings on the beach


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


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


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

[Bridge]
       C/E              F
I said meet me in the mornin'
        G              C
And she told me I was crazy
G         Am                    F               G
Yeah, but I still thought that maybe she'd show up


[Chorus]
        C               C/E                F        C
Oh, but now I'm dodging potholes in my sunburnt Silverado
      F            C                   G
Like a heart-broke Desperado, headin' right back to my roots
           C                C/E                   F                  C
Somethin' 'bout the way she kissed me tells me she'd love Eastern Tennessee
           F                      C            G         C     G
Yeah, but all I brought back with me was some sand in my boots
           Am     G          F                G          (C)
Yeah, but all I brought back with me was some sand in my boots
