The (D)streets are paved with tourists
And the (G)record company flourshed
(C)Lord knows every singer wants to be the (D)king
But some of'em couldn't take it
(G)And some good ones didn't make it
(C)That's the way it goes (G)on the Nashville (D)scene

(D)Now there's a whino on the corner
He was a (G)well known guitar picker
(C)Till he got burned out by the (D)game

And (G)tell ya how it was
(C)Back in 52 (G)when he played for(D) Hank

And (C)I'm watchin' the (G)sun go down this (D)evenin'
And (C)soon it'll wake this (G)town that's made on (D)dreams
But (C)before it does a (G)new star will be (Bb)shinin'
That's the way (C)it is on the Nashville (D)scene

From the (D)outside it;s a castle
From the (G)inside its a prison
Its(C) easy to live way beyond your (D)means
And it's a long long way to the top
And even (G)further when you drop
And (C)I've been on both(G) ends of the Nashville (D)scene

And (C)I'm watchin' the (G)sun go down this (D)evenin'
And (C)soon it'll wake this(G) town that's made on(D) dreams
