Nashville Bum (Waylon Jennings)
(D)I've been chasin' the big wheels,
(G)all over (D)Nashville,
Waitin' for my big break to (A)come,
Livin' on (D)ketchup soup,
homemade (G)crackers and (D)KoolAid,
I'll be a star tomorrow, but today, I'm a (A)Nashville (D)bum,
I look (G)good in cowboy clothes,
and I (D)sing through my nose,
Webb said that’s the way to get 'er (A)done,
I (D)smoke them old P.A.'s,
like the (G)Opry stars they (D)say,
I'll be a star tomorrow, but today, I'm a (A)Nashville (D)bum,
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/j/jennings_waylon/nashville_bum_tab.html ]
Well here's a song I wrote,
by my(G)self, note for (D)note,
With a little help it might make number (A)one,
You can (D)change a word or two,
and I'll give (G)half of it to (D)you,
I'll be a star tomorrow, but today, I'm a (A)Nashville (D)bum,
Well a (G)friend of a friend of mine,
is a (D)workin' friend Devine,
They finally got me on the Opry (A)show,
I (D)walked out like a star,
tripped and (G)busted my gui(D)tar,
I'll be a star tomorrow, but today, I'm a (A)Nashville (D)bum,
I'll be a star tomorrow, but today, I'm a (A)Nashville (D)bum.
