Tennessee Flat Top Box Chords

Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 1]
In a [G]little cabaret
In a South Texas [D]border town
Sat a boy and his guitar
And the people came from [G]all around
And all the girls
From there to [D]Austin
We're slippin' away from home
And puttin' jewer[Em]ly in h[G]ock
To take the trip
To go and [D]listen
To the little dark-haired boy
That played the Tennessee flat top [G]box

[Interlude 1]
And he would
[C](play)[C][G]
[G][G][C]
[C][C][G]
[G][G][C]
[G][G]

[Verse 2]
Well, [G]he couldn't ride or wrangle
And he never cared to [D]make a dime
But give him his guitar
And he'd be happy [G]all the time
And all the girls
From nine to [D]ninety
Were snappin' fingers, tappin' toes
And beggin' him: "Don't [G]stop"
And hypnotized and fasci [D]nated
By the little dark-haired boy
That played the Tennessee flat top [G]box

[Interlude 2]
And he would [C](play)[C][G]
[G][G][C]
[C][C][G]
[G][G][C]
[G][G]

[Verse 3]
Then [G]one day he was gone
And no one ever [D]saw him 'round
He vanished like the breeze
And they forgot him in the [G]little town
But all the girls
Still dreamed a[D]bout him
And hung around the cabaret
Until the doors were [G]locked
And then one day On the hit pa[D]rade
Was a little dark-haired boy
That played a Tennessee flat top [G]box

[Outro 1]
And he would [C](play)[C][G]
[G][G][C]
[C][C][G]
[G][G][C]

[Fade out]
