Nashville Tennessee

A  D  A     A Asus A

[Verse 1]
A                              D                 A Asus A
It wasn’t easy leaving Memphis but I needed me a gig
A
And I had this crazy beautiful feeling man,
                               E Esus E
I was on the edge of something big
       A
So I took the inter-state to Nashville
D                     A Asus A
And I made my noble stand
A                          E                           A D A
Working off some old Karma with the Stacey Mitchhard band

[Chorus]
A                 D                                  A Asus A
I’m a music city blowin cos this is where I need to be
A                           E                              A Asus A
I’m one part psychedelic gypsy three parts blue eyed refugee
A                          D                             B
I’ve come a long way from Graceland and you can quote me free
               A               E                          A Asus A
My soul is in Memphis but my ass is in Nashville, Tennessee

[Verse 2]
A                            D                          A Asus A
Well I sat in with some cats and pretty soon word snuck around
A                                                                 E Esus E
That the dude there known as Goldilocks has the wildest organ in town
A                 D                                     A Asus A
I’m a bad-ass maker-shaker so if you see me man don’t shoot
A                           E                                  A
I’m just a prowling on down music route in my Willie Mitchell suit

[Chorus]
A                 D                                  A Asus A
I’m a music city blowin cos this is where I need to be
A                           E                              A Asus A
I’m one part psychedelic gypsy three parts blue eyed refugee
A                          D                             B

[Verse 3]
A                              D                           A Asus A
Well I wake up every morning with words of praise upon my lips
A                                                       E Esus E
Praise for the pioneers and outlaws that made this city hip
                  A
Praise for the men that made Nashville, Nashville
D                         A Asus A
And the women behind the men
A                                  E                         A
who put the funk back into country and made Nashville great again

[Chorus]
A                 D                                 A Asus A
I’m a music city blowin cos this is where I want to be
A                           E                              A Asus A
I’m one part psychedelic gypsy three parts blue eyed refugee
