The Johnny Carson Show

A                             
I have come a long way from the 
  D
hills of Tennessee
A                              
And I've worked hard to make the 
             E
folks back home real proud of me
A                            
Now everybody knows my name no 
  D
matter where I go
      A                            
But I never really made it 'til The
 E             A

[Verse 2]
    A                              
Now I have dreamed of stardom since
       D
 I was just a kid
A                                 
And me 'n' Dollar dreamed beneath 
        E
this thirteen dollar wig
A                                 
In my bell-bottom jumpsuits with 
   D
the rhinestones all aglow
    A                              
I became and over-night success 
      E             A

[Chorus]
     D                     A
From polyester paradise to silk and 
satin frills
       E                           
From a forty-eight foot moblie home
      A
 to a mansion on the hill
     D                             
From moonshine to rare wine, from a
 A
 Packard to a Rolls
        E            D            
But I'd never really made it 'til

[Verse 3]
    A                              
Now there's only one small problem,
 D
 sometimes I get disturbed
A                                 
Folks sometimes get me confused 
   E
with Monti Rock the third
    A                              
But still I think it's worth it and
   D
 I just thought you should know
          A                   
That I'll always owe a special 
               E             A
thanks to The Johnny Carson Show


[Chorus]
            D                    
I went from pop beads to diamonds 
      A
from car coats to fur
     E                     A
From K-Mart to Gucci, from here no 
tellin' where
     D                     A
From Hillbilly Heaven to a penthouse
 on the coast
      E            D               
But I never really made it til The 
E             A
