Capo on the 3rd fret

I came down from the mountain
C G
Consumed by a passion
C G D
I followed the fire so far from my home
G
What glittered and shone
C G
Like diamonds and gold
C G D G
Soon turned to ashes and I woke up alone
C G
I'm down on my knees
D Em
Begging you please
G D G C/G G
Take me back, take me back Tennessee
A promise and a ring
Are dangerous things
In the hands of a love untrue and unkind
My heart it was taken
Lied to forsaken
Now you're the only one left that I believe
I'm down on my knees
Begging you please
Take me back, take me back Tennessee
I never did forget
The day we first met
Your soft gentle hills kindly offered me rest
I'm sorry and I'm tired
Of wandering and lying
But you'll make a honest girl of me yet
