[Verse 1]
      C                 Em           F                 C
After fifteen years of marriage, she left him in Tennessee
F                         Dm                 F          C
He found the rings on the rabbit ears of the Japanese T.V.
    F                    Dm                    F                     C
She swapped him in for a brand new man, and he felt like an old used car
                  Em                  F               C
On a riverbank, a child on a log that drifted out too far.
 
 
[Chorus]
         C       Em         F            C
And it's hey ho, hi ho, goodbye to Tennessee
F                Dm           F            C
I'm on my way to Oregon where nobody knows me
          F              Dm           F                C
I'm gonna buy a boat and sail it out upon the drifting sea
          C                       Em                  F                    C
I'm gonna ride the swells like an old blue whale, and look for the rest of me
          C                       Em                  F                    C
I'm gonna ride the swells like an old blue whale, and look for the rest of me
 
 
[Verse 2]
   C                Em  F                C
Outside of Tucumcare, a car drove by his truck
    F                 Dm           F              C
Two kids had just got married; God bless 'em, and good luck
    F                   Dm                 F                    C
His mind went back some fifteen years to a little white country church
                              Em              F                C
It was a buckboard scene from out of a dream, Jesus how it hurt
 
 
[Bridge]
       G                                              C
And it hurts when the one that you love goes down the road
       G              F                                 C
And at first you will pray, "Oh Lord, this is too big a load"
           G                                          C
But if you try, you will find there are so many other lives
             F               G
As there are stars up in the sky
 
 
[Chorus]
         C       Em         F            C
And it's hey ho, hi ho, goodbye to Tennessee
F                Dm           F            C
I'm on my way to Oregon where nobody knows me
          F              Dm           F                C
I'm gonna buy a boat and sail it out upon the drifting sea
          C                       Em                  F                    C
I'm gonna ride the swells like an old blue whale, and look for the rest of me
          C                       Em                  F                    C
I'm gonna ride the swells like an old blue whale, and look for the rest of me
