Nashville Cats:The Lovin' Spoonful.
#8 in '66.
CHORUS:
G   D7    G
Nashville Cats, play clean as country water.
G   D7    G
Nashville Cats, play wild as mountain dew.
G   D7    G
Nashville Cats, been playin' since they's babies.
G   D7    G
Nashville Cats, get work before they're two.
#1.
              G
Well, there's thirteen hundred and fifty-two
       D7
guitar pickers in Nashville.
             D7
And they can pick more notes than the number of ants
     G
on a Tennessee anthill.
Yeah, there's thirteen hundred and fifty-two
       C
guitar cases in Nashville.
       D7
And anyone that unpacks his guitar will play...
                     G
twice as better than I will.
#2.
G
Yeah, I was just thirteen, you might say I was a
                   D7
musical proverbial knee-high.
When I heard a couple new sounding tunes on the tubes
         C          G
and they blasted me sky high.
G
And the record man said 'Every one is a Yellow Sun
C
Record from Nashville.
       D7
And up North there ain't nobody buys them,' and I said, 
     G
'But I will.' And it was...
CHORUS:
#3.
G
Well, there's sixteen thousand eight hundred twenty-one
D7
mothers from Nashville.
All their friends play music, and they ain't uptight
   G
if one of the kids will.
G
Because it's custom made for any mother's son
        C
to be a guitar picker in Nashville.
      D7
And I sure am glad I got a chance to say a word about
                               G
the music and the mothers from Nashville.
And it was...
CHORUS:
          G              C            G         D7      GCGCG
Pick it...//////////////////////////////////////////////
