Nashville Cats chords
C*
CNashGville CCats, play clean as country C7water
CNashGville CCats, play wild as mountain C7dew
CNashGville CCats, been playin' since they's C7babies
CNashGville CCats, get work before they're C7two
Well, there's Cthirteen hundred and fifty two
Guitar Gpickers in Nashville
And they can pick more notes than the number of ants
On a CTennessee anthill
Yeah, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two
Guitar Fcases in Nashville
And any Gone that unpacks his guitar could play
Twice as Cbetter than C7I will
Yeah, I was Cjust thirteen, you might say I was a
Musical proverbial Gknee-high
When I heard a couple new-sounding tunes on the tubes
And they blasted me Csky-high
And the record man said every one is a yellow Sun
FRecord from Nashville
And up Gnorth there ain't nobody buys them
And I said, but CI C7will
And it was
CNashGville CCats, play clean as country C7water
CNashGville CCats, play wild as mountain C7dew
CNashGville CCats, been playin' since they's C7babies
CNashGville CCats, get work before they're C7two
Well, there's Csixteen thousand eight hundred twenty one
GMothers from Nashville
All their friends play music, and they ain't uptight
If Cone of the kids will
Because it's custom made for any mother's son
To be a Fguitar picker in Nashville
And I Gsure am glad I got a chance to say a word about
The music and the mothers from CNashville
CNashGville CCats, play clean as country C7water
CNashGville CCats, play wild as mountain C7dew
CNashGville CCats, been playin' since they's C7babies
CNashGville CCats, get work before they're C7two . . . picking
