Nashville Bum

I'[D]ve been-- chasin' the big wheels

 A[G]ll over Nash[D]ville

Wa[A]itin' for my big break to come

Li[D]vin' on ketchup soup, homemade

 C[G]rackers and Kool[D]Aid
I'll be a star tomorrow, but today

I'[A7]m a Nashvill[D]e bum

I [G]look good in cowboy clothes

An[D]d I sing through my nose

We[A]bb said "That's the way to get 'er done"

I [D]smoke good old PA

Li[G]ke the Opry stars, [D]they say
I'll be a star tomorrow, but today

I'[A7]m a Nashvill[D]e bum

We[E]ll, a friend of a friend of mine

Is[A] a friend of art d[E]ivines

An[B]d he finally got me on the Opry show

I [E]walked out like a star

Tr[A]ipped and bu[E]sted my guitar
I'll be a star tomorrow, but today

I'[B7]m a Nashvill[E]e bum

We[A]ll now, here's a song I wrote

By[E] myself, note for note

Wi[B]th a lot of help, if I make Number One

Yo[E]u can change a word or two

An[A]d I'll give half[E] of it to you
I'll be a star tomorrow, but today

I'[B7]m a Nashvill[E]e bum
Yes, I'll be a star tomorrow, but today
