Me And Billy Swan

[Verse 1]
       C
As you walk down music row
    F          G     C
You won’t find Billy Joe
    F           G      Am
Yea I’ve lost a little soul
     F      G      C
It’s lost a little soul

[Verse 2]
C           G      C
Dear Hazel, it’s a shame
    F         G       C
You gave them all our names
    F        G         Am
Now they all sound the same
F        G         C
They all sound the same

[Verser 3]
    C
And down the lonely hall
     F          G     C
Once walked the great Tompall
    F       G          Am
The one who started it all
    F       G          C
The one who started it all

[Verse 4]
          G         C
There’s a wild-eyed boy
C
From Shenandoah, Iowa
       G
With a pickup truck
G       C
Full of guitars

[Verse 5]
F
He’s headed down to Nashville
   C                  F       Am 
To give him a shot at being a big
         G
 country star
G    C
What shoulders he stands upon
     F         G       C
What dreams he carries on
     F          G     Am
To a world that lives beyond
F            G     C
A world that lives beyond

[Verse 6]
G     C
Kacey Jones, she isn’t here
        F       G        C
But for another round of beer
   F          G     Am
To honor that brave engineer
   F          G     C
To honor that brave engineer

[Verse 7]
C
Now the cranes block out the sky
F           G          C
And Captain Midnight’s sigh
 F            G         Am
As a piece of Nashville dies
F          G         C
A piece of Nashville dies

[Verse 8]
C
Now look it’s almost dawn
F         G      C
And yesterday is gone
F          G     C
But me and Billy Swan
G                     C
Are trying to write a song
