Verse 1
(D major) (A major) (D major) People let
me tell you
about (A major) this (D major) Nashville town
25 years I watched the deal go down
Written every (G major) kind of song,
sung every kind of tune
Been treated every (D major) kind of way,
had (A major) every (D major) kind of blues
People (A major) it's a crying shame
And (G major) I got something to say
Got them Nashville (D major) city blues
An (A major) d I ain't leavin' this town, people,
till I get paid (D major)
Yeah, people, let me tell you
about (A major) this (D major) Nashville town
They've taken all the music
and they've watered it all down
They've (G major) taken its heart,
they've taken its soul
They wouldn't know (D major) old Hank
if he came walkin' down the road
People, (A major) it's a cryin' shame
Old Hank (G major) had somethin' to say
I got them (D major) Nashville City Blues
And I ain't (A major) leavin' this town,
people, till I do (D major)
Y 'all people, let me tell you
about this Nashville town
It will break your heart and (A major) it
will knock (D major) you down
Glitter (G major) and the glamour,
it's a big -time game
People, (D major) the music, well,
it don't mean a thing
It's (A major) all about the money that's made
Love, (G major) people, it's a cryin' shame
I got the Nashville (D major) City Blues
And I ain't leav (A major) in' this town, people
Till I get paid (D major)
People, let me tell you
about this Nashville town
I know my music and I've been around
From (G major) Dee Ford Bailey to Willie MacTel
To Nat (D major) Ro gers and the Hag (A major)
and Lefty (D major) Frizzell
People, (A major) I rode that train
And I (G major) know from whence I came
I got them Nashville (D major) city blues
I ain't leav (A major) ing this town, people
Until I get paid (D major)
Come on, play (G major) (D major)
(A major) (G major)
(D major) (A major)
(D major)
Well, I paid my dues and I put in my time
Spent years of my (A major) life
up and down (D major) the white lines
Follow (G major) in' my heart and
believin' in dreams
An (D major) d I don't say nothin', people,
(A major) I (D major) don't really mean
So (A major) tell them all, get out of my way
Yeah, (C sharpdim) (G major) I got somethin' to say
I got the Nashville (D major) city blues
I ain't (A major) leavin' this town, people
Till I can breathe (D major) I'm flyin'
(G major) (D major)
(A major) (G major)
(D major) (A major)
(D major)
Yeah, people,
let me tell you about this Nashville town
For 25 years (A major) I watched
the (D major) deal go down
Every (G major) kind of song I've sung,
every kind of tune
Treated (D major) every kind of way,
I've had every kind of blues
People, (A major) it's a cryin' (C sharpdim) shame (A major)
But (G major) I got something to say
I got them Nashville (D major) City Blues
And I ain't leav (A major) in' this town, people,
till I get paid (D major) (G major)
(D major) (A major)
(G major) (D major)
(A major) (D major)
