The picking progression on this is fairly easy but the chord 
fingerings I have come up with are difficult to maintain while 
picking and singing. Hope this works. This is the recorded key
and as close as I could find it.

Cadd9    – X32013
C/A#     - X10013
Am7/A    - X02013
Am7/F#   - 2X2013


Cadd9            C/A#                     Am7/A        Am7/F#
I talked to your sister last night on the telephone
Cadd9        C/A#                  Am7           F
You know she always thought pretty well of me
Cadd9         C/A#                        Am7                    Am7/F#
She said your weddin’ went fine, you were up in New York on your honeymoon
Cadd9 C/A#      Am7/A  F 
And tonight I'm down    in Tennessee

I got that letter you wrote, it tore me up
But I don’t have anyone to blame but me
I had it all for a while but like everything else, I messed it up
And that’s why I’m down in Tennessee


Chorus:
F           Dm                F
It’s blue tonight and gettin’ bluer
C                              F          C
But I’m in the state that I deserve to be
        F                G    Am                  F             C 
Without you I just can’t see, things ever lookin’ up for me-e-e-e
       F             C
I’m so down in Tennessee


I hope you’re happy with him, he’s a lucky man
I hope he gives you that home and family
I wanna say if by chance you are ever this a-way, look me up
Cause I’ll be down in Tennessee

Chorus

I’m so down in Tennessee
I’m gonna be down in Tennessee
