[C][D][G][Em][C][D]

[Verse 1]
[G]The karaoke queen of [Em]Tyler,
Texas [C]outgrew her little [D]pond
She [G]packed up her car,
took [Em]the Church Street exit
On [C]half a tank of broken [D]songs
[C]Hit the ground running on [D]Broadway,
And while she's [G]waiting on her dream
to come [Em]true
[C]Someone's gotta tend the bars,
[Dsus4]someone's gotta sell the boots
In the city [G]of music

[Verse 2]
[G]Second- string quarterback,
ju[Em]nior transfer
[C]Learning how to play gui[D]tar
[G]He bought a ring for [Em]his high
school girlfriend
[C]Right before she broke his [D]heart
[C]Now she's getting married
to his [D]ex- best friend
And there's [G]only one
thing [Em]to do
'Cause [C]you can make a million dollars
[Dsus4]just by singing the blues
In the city [D]of [G]mu sic

[Verse 3]
Tell the [C]truth, play some [D]chords
Pay your [G]dues and praise the [Em]Lord
[C]Cadillac[D]s, 4x4s
It's the city of mu[G]sic
This ain't no Big Ap[C]ple or La La [D]Land
Harlan [G]drank right where you [Em]stand
Tell the [C]bouncer you're with the [D]band

Singing, oh- oh- oh, oh- oh- oh

[Verse 4]
So she sold him some boots on Fri[Em]day,
And he [C]wore 'em on their
date that [D]night
[G]They sat around singing
[Em]George and Tammy,
And [C]woke up in a co- [D]write
[C]Maybe it'll last [D]forever,
maybe [G]only a week or [Em]two
[C]Sometimes you write the songs and
[D]sometimes the songs write you

[Verse 5]
Just tell the [C]truth, play some [D]chords
Pay your [G]dues and praise the [Em]Lord
Cadillac[C]s, [D]4x4s
It's the city of mu[G]sic
This is hill[C]billy [D]holy land
Ol' Hank [G]drank right
where you [Em]stand
It's [C]alright, I'm with the [D]band
It's the city of mu[G]sic
