Charlie Robison Molly's Blues written by Charlie Robison
F F7
I will see you in the morning
Bb F
When the moonlight leaves the trees
Bb F
But I will always feel the embers
C7 F
Of the flames in Tennessee
F F7
I was sleepin when they came knocking
Bb F
They said boy you better leave
Bb F
Said South Nashville is rockin
C7 F
And they can't get no relief
F F7
So I run and put my pants on
Bb F
And I run to get my car
Bb F
But the flames they was a risin
C7 F
And I didn't get to far
F F7
There was a black man on the corner
Bb F
He said boy just turn away
Bb F
I got a gun here in my pocket
C7 F
And I will take your life away
F F7
So I showed the man your picture
Bb F
And I said we had a son
Bb F
And I was just up here from Texas
C7 F
I wasn't hurting anyone
F F7
So I run out to the highway
Bb F
And I finally caught a ride
Bb F
With some white trash outta towner
C7 F
With his wife and kids inside
F F7
So I sit here on the roadside
Bb F
And I talk to your machine
Bb F
I can see the flames a-risin
C7 F
Over Nashville Tennessee
F F7
Well don't go out lookin on your TV
Bb F
They gonna keep this all discreet
Bb F
They will never tell the secrets
C7 F
Of the flames in Tennessee
F F7
You know I hope she don't discover
Bb F
That this all was all just a lie
Bb F
Buit If I don't get home to see her
C7 F
Then my heart will surely die
F F7
I will see you in the morning
Bb F
When the moonlight leaves the trees
Bb F
But I will always feel the embers
C7 F
Of The flames in Tennessee
C7 F
The night they burned down Nashville Tennessee
