Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Well, they call me Jimmy Martin
And they say that I [A]can sing
Of [D]them lonesome broken- [G]hearted
Boys [A]of Bluegrass, [D]I'm the king

[Verse 2]
[G]I was born up in [D]the mountains
I [G]was raised in pover[D]ty
Made [G]a guitar [D]out of nothing
But [A]a cigar box [D]and strings
Took [G]a bus across

[Verse 3]
to [D]Nashville
And [G]that's where I was em[D]ployed
Picking [G]guitar and singing [D]tenor
With Bill [A]Monroe and his Bluegrass
[D]Boys

[Verse 4]
[D]Yeah, they call me Jimmy Martin
And they say that I [A]can sing
Of [D]them lonesome broken- [G]hearted
Boys [A]of Bluegrass,
[D]I'm the king

[Interlude 1]
[A][G][D][A][D]

[Verse 5]
Back [G]in [D]1959
With [G]the Sunny Mountain [D]Boys
On [G]that Louisiana [D]Hayride
[A]You never heard
such a wondrous [D]noise
We tore [G]it up at the Grand Ole

[Verse 6]
[D]Opry
Walkin' [G]Shoes and Free Born [D]Man
But the [G]circle is still [D]broken
My greatest [A]dream
slipped through my hands
[D]

[Verse 7]
Well, they call me Jimmy Martin
And they say that I [A]can sing
Of [D]them lonesome broken- [G]hearted
Boys [A]of Bluegrass, [D]I'm the king

[Verse 8]
Of [D]them lonesome broken- [G]hearted
Boys [A]of Bluegrass, [D]I'm the king
