Nashville Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][C]
[G][D][C]
As [D]I drive

[Verse 1]
[G]
From your [D]pearly gates
I [C]realize that I just can't stay
All those moun[G]tains
They kept you [D]locked inside
And hid the [C]truth
From my slighted [G]eyes

[Verse 2]
[D]I came to you with a half-open heart
heart
Dream[C]s upon my back
Illusions of a brand new start
[G]Nashville
Can't [D]I carry the load
Is it my [C]fault that
I can't reap what I sow
[G]Nashville
Did you give me [D]half a chance
With your south[C]ern style
And your hidden dance [G]away
You dance [D]away
And you dance away
[C]

[Verse 3]
All these [G]voices
They whisper [D]through my walls
They talk of [C]falling fast
They say I'm losing it all
[G]They say I'm running blind
To [D]love of my own
But I'll be walk[C]ing proud

[Verse 4]
I'm saving what I still own
[D]I fell on my knees to kiss your land
But you [C]are so far down
And I can't even see to stand
In [G]nashville
You forgot the [D]human race
You see with half [C]a mind
What colors hide the face
[G]Nashville
I'd like to know [D]your fate
I'd like to stay [C]a while
But I've seen your lowered
states [G]today
I've seen 'em [D]today
Honey I swear [C]I've seen 'em today

[Verse 5]
[C]Now[G][D][C]
[G][D][C]
[G]I'm leaving
I've got all [D]these debts to pay
You know we all have [C]our dues
I'll pay 'em some other place
[G]Ah I never ask that [D]you pay me back
We all ar[C]rive with more

[Verse 6]
I left with less than I had
[D]Your town is made for
people passing through
A last [C]chance for a cause
I thought I knew
[G]But nashville
You tell me what you are [D]gonna do
With all your south[C]ern style
It'll never pull you through
[G]Nashville
I can't [D]place no blame
But if you forget [C]my face
I'll never call your [G]name again
No never [D]again
No never again
[C][G]

[Verse 7]
[D]I fell on my knees to kiss your land
But you [C]are so far down
And I can't even see to stand
[G]In nashville
You forgot the [D]human race
You see with half [C]a mind
What colors hide the [G]face
Nashville
I'd like to know [D]your fate
I'd like [C]to stay a while
But I've seen your lowered
states [G]today
I've seen 'em [D]today
Honey I swear [C]I've seen 'em today
I'm [G]running away I'm
running [D]away
I'm running I'm running
[C]I'm running away
