Nashville Blues
By Cory Morrow
You can capo one or play with out a capo.
Your preference. I saw Cory do it once with a capo and once with out.
INTRO: G Cadd9 D Cadd9 (2x)
[G]Late one m[Cadd9]orning I j[D]ust packed my t[Cadd9]hings
[G]Burned all[Cadd9] my bills and I[D] hopped a plane[Cadd9]
[G]I told the[Cadd9] cops and the [D]bankers goodbye[Cadd9]
Th[G]ey said "D[Cadd9]on't let us catch yo[D]u, cause you ow[Cadd9]e us your life"
[G]Well, the plane was[Cadd9] headed ea[D]st and so I was[Cadd9]
[G]Bound for [Cadd9]Tennessee [D]to outrun the f[Cadd9]uzz
[G]They found[Cadd9] me in a d[D]ay or two[Cadd9]
Now I'[G]m flat bus[Cadd9]ted in jai[D]l, fightin' the[Cadd9] Nashville[G] blues
Chorus:
[G]I like Geo[Cadd9]rge Jones,[D] Willie and Way[Cadd9]lon
I think[G] Kris and [Cadd9]Merle are [D]songwrittin' sa[Cadd9]viors
And [G]Townes Van[Cadd9] Zant, he [D]died too soon[Cadd9]
But no[G]w heâ??s u[Cadd9]p there wi[D]th Hank and the[Cadd9]yâ??re both fightinâ?? the Nashville blues
W[G]ell the so[Cadd9]ngwritin's[D] left up to old[Cadd9] hillbillies
[G]Hippies an[Cadd9]d rednecks[D] and girls like[Cadd9] Miss Emmylou
[G]I'm too yo[Cadd9]ung to hav[D]e a point of vi[Cadd9]ew
But I [G]just want [Cadd9]to be a pa[D]rt of fightin' [Cadd9]the Nashville blues
Bridge:
Fighti[Cadd9]n' the Nashville blu[D]es it ain't fun, no
[G]It takes a[Cadd9] toll upon[D] your mind
[G]But all th[Cadd9]e great on[D]es they been th[Cadd9]ere too
[G]And they'r[Cadd9]e all figh[D]tin' the Nashvi[Cadd9]lle blues
Well, I moved back to Austin to try to make a livin
But it ain't been so easy with those hill country women
And I'm stuck inside of this 8x12 room
And my throat's a scratchin' from the cigaretts and booze
And my face is wrinklin' and my mind's a strayin'
And I get on my knees and I get to prayin'
But my hands are worn like the soles of my shoes
And the Lord only knows I'm just fightin' the Nashville blues
Alt. Chorus:
I like Johnny Cash, Willie and Waylon
I think Chris (Wall) and Merle are songwritin' saviors
Old Keith Whitley, he died too soon
Bun now he's up there with Hank
And there both fightin' the Nashville blues
