[Intro]
D7 G
[Verse 1]
G
Here I go again oh mother on my way to play another
D D7
Of those dingy bars you preached to me about
D7
Just before dad started drinkin' and the family started driftin'
G
Not to be outdone I head for Tennessee
[Verse 2]
G
Had a guitar and a suitcase
G
And a list of songs that I could play
G7 C
But better than my friends and my hometown
D D7
You were right and I was wrong I guess
D7
Cause the job I got is not the best
G
I'm taken with the Music City band
[Chorus]
D7 G
I'm workin' with a band that plays from 9 to 3 am
A D D7
And you'd be surprised at all the folks that come to hear me sing
G C
I'll sing about a lonesome girl about a ramblin' man
D7 C G
I'll sing about my troubles with this Music City band
[Solo]
C C7 F F G G7 C C#7 D7
[Verse 3]
G
It's the second time I've written
G
Since I left and I ain't kiddin'
C
I've lost touch with everything but my guitar
D D7
So if you think of me here's my address
D7
Send a picture and a good ol' bless
G
In care of this ol' Music City band
[Solo]
