Intro.:  (D) x 4 measures

My (D)friends and my (G)mother (A) they all like my (G)songs
(D)They said, (D/C#) "Boy, (Bm)Nashville (A) (G) is where you be-(A)long"
And (D)I agreed the music world (G)probably needed (A)me
(D)Well, Music City here I (A)am
But I (G)don't think any-(A)body gives a (D)damn

(Chorus)
In the (D)cold cold heart of Tennes-(G)see
There's (D)ten thousand dreamers just like (A)me
With a (D)song and a guitar and a (G)message to tell
(D)Come to find heaven in (A) hillbilly (D)hell

An-(D)other day a (G)watchin' (A) the Cadillacs go (G)past
(D)Writin' (D/C#)songs (Bm)in my (A)head (G)while I'm a pumpin' (D)gas
(D)Eatin' beans and wearin' jeans and (G) sleepin' in my (A)car
I (D)hope the folks back home will under-(A)stand
It's gonna (G)take a little (A)longer than I (D)planned

(Chorus)
Yeah, in the (D)cold cold heart of Tennes-(G)see
There's (D)ten thousand dreamers just like (A)me
With a (D)song and a guitar and a (G)message to tell
(D)Come to find heaven in (A) hillbilly (D)hell --
