[D]End of Oc[D/C#]tober
The [D/B]sleepy brown [A7]woods see[G/B]m to  [E/C#]
[D]              [D/C#]           [A7]    [A7]  [G/B]
N[E/C#]od down their heads to the Winter
[D]           [D/C#]            [D/B]            [A7]
[G/B]Yello[E/C#]ws and grays paint the sad skies today
And I [G]wonder when [A7]you're coming [D]home

Woke up one morning
The wind through the window
Reminded me winter was just 'round the bend
Somehow I just did not see it was coming
It took me by surprise again

(Chorus)
And [Em]I hear you're [A7]in San Fran[D]cisco [D/C#]
[Bm]Living with your [Bm/A]sister who's a [G]mother to [A7]be
And [Em]her husband's [A7]way down in [D]Georgia [D/C#]
And [Bm]I'm still in [Bm/A]old    Tennes[G]see...
[Em]Wishing you'd [A7]come home to [G]me

[G/B]Life [E/C#]here is easy I'm sure you recall
How it's [D]so warm and [D/C#]breezy
In the [D/B]summer and the [A7]fall [G/B]      [E/C#]
But [D]winter's u[D/C#]pon  me
And [D/B]I've got no [A7]heat here
And [G]I miss your [A7]fire so [Bm]sweet
[Bm/A]Dear     [G]I miss your [A7]fire so [D]sweet

(Chorus)

Verse 1 repeated:
End of October
The sleepy brown woods seem to
Nod down their heads to the winter
Yellows and gray paint the sad skies today
And I [G]wonder when [A7]you're coming [D]home [D/C#]
I [G]wonder when [A7]you're coming [D]home  [D/C#]
I [Em]wonder when [A7]you're coming [D]home

"Old Tennessee" was written when I lived on a farm outside of Nashville, as a parody of
east coast folk music. It was written about a young lady I briefly cohabited with, and
her subsequent departure. (Dan Fogelberg 6/11/97).
