[Chorus]
     F                            C
Come on back to Nashville, it's a pretty old city
                                        G
We'd painted and fixed up the old Music Row
F                                   C
Tootsie's still kickin', they won't let her fry chicken
                                   G             C
But the music's still loud and the beer is still cold.

[Verse 1]
C                       F
Don't let them big city people get to you
      C                                       G
Cause money's the name of the game, don't you see
     C                        F
They might pat your fanny and say you're a dandy
         C                           G        C
But they still don't like pickin' on Network TV.

[Chorus]
     F                            C
Come on back to Nashville, it's a pretty old city
                                        G
We'd painted and fixed up the old Music Row
F                                   C
Tootsie's still kickin', they won't let her fry chicken
                                   G             C
But the music's still loud and the beer is still cold.

[Verse 2]
                C                       F
Well, there's a few of us left, there's Bare and Rodriguez
    C                                        G
And Hillman and Harlan, that's a pretty good bunch
    C                            F
But something is missin' when we all get to pickin'
      C                     G            C
There ain't enough of us to throw a good run.

[Chorus]
     F                            C
Come on back to Nashville, it's a pretty old city
                                        G

                                   G             C
But the music's still loud and the beer is still cold.

[Verse 3]
    C                     F
Now whoever told you that we didn't want you
    C                                      G
You know they lied to you, we want you all here
       C                       F
If you just want some strokin' keep right on smokin'
       C                            G7        C
If you don't mind that we just hang in with a beer here.

[Chorus]
     F                            C
Come on back to Nashville, it's a pretty old city
