AbJames' in his room Ebmtrying to find a Dbm7song of F#his Abown
AbPlaying the same chords Ebmall day long
DbmBut he can't quite F#write it Abalone
AbBut something changed that Ebmevening
When Dbm7he saF#w NataAblie

[Verse]
AbJames was set to play from Ebmseven tonight
At DbmMain Street that F#Tuesday Abnight
AbLooking out trough the crowd
He Ebmfound the song Dbmsitting there F#all Abalone
AbHis mind went blank as she Ebmsmiled
It was DbmJames she F#was Abfantasy
AbHe couldn't remember a Ebmsingle word
DbmBut he still knew her F#meloAbdy
[Chorus]
Ab F#9 B Bbm

AbOver the mountain where the Ebmleaves stay green
Is Dbmwhere he F#wanted to Abbe
She had a Abroot deep down in EbmTennessee
Lord Dbmknows she wasn't Ebmgoing to Ableave

Looks like Ablife ain't that Ebmeasy
As Dbmthey F#thought it would Abbe
But Abthat's when they'd learn Ebmeventually
[Bridge pt2]

EOn a desert island or F#if it in Italy

[Verse]
AbOver the mountains they Ebmbuilt there home
And Dbmeven had one F#in TenneAbssee
You see, AbJames hit the big time with that Ebmsong he wrote
A Dbmsong called F#"NataliAbe"
He Abplays it every night can't help but Ebmsmile
When the Dbmcrowd sings her F#meloAbdy
AbThey may not know the Ebmstory but DbmJames has a F#memorAby
[Chorus]
Ab F#9 B Bbm
