Nashville Cats G

NASHVILLE CATS 

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

                G
Well, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two
         D
Guitar pickers in Nashville
And they can pick more notes than the number of ants
       G
On a Tennessee ant hill
Yeah, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two
         C
Guitar cases in Nashville
         D
And any one who unpacks 'is guitar could play
                         G
Twice as better than I will


             G
Yeah, I was just thirteen, you might say I was a
            D
Musical proverbial knee-high
When I heard a couple new-sounding tunes on the tubes
            G
And they blasted me sky-high
And the record man said every one is a yellow sun
D
Record from Nashville
And up north there ain't nobody buys them
              G
And I said, "But I Will"    And it was…

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

CHORUS
