Intro: C G

C                     G7   
Nashville cats, play clean as 
               C
country water!
C                     G7  
Nashville cats, play wild as 
               C
mountain dew!
C                       G7       
Nashville cats, been playin' 
              C
since they's babies!
C                      G7    
Nashville cats, get work before 
              C
they're two!

C                                 
Well, there's thirteen hundred and
 fifty two guitar pickers in 
      G7
Nashville
G7
And they can pick more notes than 
the number of ants on a
C
Tennessee ant hill.
Yeah, there's thousand tree hundred 
                   F
fiifith two guitar cases in 
Nashville
                        G7         
And anyone that unpacks his guitar 
can play twice as better than I 
    C
will!

Continues after the ad
Yeah, I was just thirteen, you might
 say I was a
Musical proverbial knee-high
When I heard a couple new-sounding 
tunes on the tubes
And they blasted me sky-high
And the record man said every one is
 a yellow Sun
Record from Nashville
And up north there ain't nobody buys
 them
And I said, but I will!

And it was...
C                     G7   
Nashville cats, play clean as 
               C
country water!
C                     G7  
Nashville cats, play wild as 
               C
mountain dew!
C                       G7       
Nashville cats, been playin' 
              C
since they's babies!
C                      G7    
Nashville cats, get work before 
              C

Well, there's sixteen thousand eight
 hundred twenty one
Mothers from Nashville
All their friends play music, and 
they ain't uptight
If one of the kids will
Because it's custom made for any 
mother's son
To be a guitar picker in Nashville
And I sure am glad I got a chance to
 say a word about
The music and the mothers from 
Nashville...

And it was...

              C

C                      G7

              C
they're two!
