Nashville 1972 Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][C]
[G][C]

[Verse 1]
I had [C]a dog named
[F]Banjo and a girl named [C]Muffin
I'd just blew in from [G]Texas
and I didn't [C]know nothing
I found my way around this town with
[F]a friend I made named [C]Guy
Who loved [G]Susanna and so [C]did I

[Verse 2]
[C]
Now there was this run down
shack on Acklen Avenue
That I [F]shared with Skinny [C]Dennis
And a poet name of Richard Dobson who
[G]had a novel he'd never fin[C]ish
That's when Johnny Rodrigues,
David Olney [F]and Steve Earle first came [C]through
And every other guitar bum [G]whose
name I never knew
[C]

[Verse 3]
[F]Old School [C]Nashville,
[G]Harlan Howard, [C]Bob Mc[F]Dill
Tom T Hall go [C]drink your fill [G]and blow

[Interlude 1]
us all away
[C][F][C]
[G][C]

[Verse 4]
There was this [C]tight- rope- walker who called
herself the [F]queen of Pough[C]keepsie
Who ran away from the circus with
[G]some roustabout red[C]neck gypsy
They were Townes Van Zandt fans
an[F]d prone to comb[C]ustion
They fought like dogs in Spanish
[G]and made love in Russian[C]

[Verse 5]
I [Am]wish Newberry an[G]d Buck White would
[F]drop on by the hou[C]se tonight
[Am]Things have changed roun[G]d here you bet,
[F]but it don't seem [G]much better yet
[Em]

[Verse 6]
[G]
[C]I first met Willie Nelson with
some [F]friends at [C]a party
I was twenty- two years old and
[G]he was pushing [C]forty
There was hippies and reefer and God knows
what all I was [F]drinking pretty [C]hard
I played him this shitty song I wrote
[G]and puked out in the yard
[C]

[Verse 7]
[F]Old School [C]Nashville, [G]Harlan Howard,
[C]Bob [F]McD[C]ill[G][C][F]
Tom T Hall go [C]drink your fill [G]and blow

[Outro 1]
us all away
[G][C][C][F][C]
[G]
