C           Em          F           C
I hear the cottonwoods whisp'rin' above,

Am        Em     Dm7         G
"Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love!"

     C         Em          F           C
The ole hootie owl hootie-hoo's to the dove, 

 Am      Em     F       G   C
"Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love!"


Bridge 1:

G7      C                 F      D7             G7
Does my darling feel what I feel when he comes near?

    E7            Am             C          Em        Dm7
My heart beats so joyfully you'd think that he could hear.


 G7  C         Em           F            C
Wish I knew if he knew what I'm dreaming of!

F      Em     Dm7     G7  C
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love!


C             Em            F      Dm7 C
Whippoorwill, whippoorwill, you and I know

Am     Em     Dm7           G
Tammy! Tammy! Can't let him go!

      C             Em          F     Dm7  
The breeze from the bayou keeps murmuring low,

 F      Em     Dm7      G7  C
"Tammy! Tammy! You love him so!"


Bridge 2:

G7        C              F                D7            G7
When the night is warm, soft and warm, I long for his charms!

    E7         Am         C      Em      Dm7
I'd sing like a violin if I were in his arms.


 G7  C         Em           F            C
Wish I knew if he knew what I'm dreaming of!

F      Em     Dm7     G7  C
Tammy! Tammy! Tammy's in love!
