Verse 1
(D major) Well, gather round, fans.
(G major) I'll tell you a story
about (A major) how to become an
all -Amer (D major) ican boy.
Buy yourself a guitar (G major) and put it to tune.
You just might (A major) be a (G major) big (A major) star
pretty (D major) soon. (G major)
Impressing the darlings, (A major)
picking hot licks on your
Sears Roebuck guitar,
(D major) talking cat -talk words.
I bought me a guitar (G major) about a year ago,
(A major)
learned how to play it (D major) a month or so.
All around town (G major) it was well
understood.
They weren't sure (A major) what it was,
but boy, it was (G major) gooder. Weird.
Differ (A major) ent sounds.
It is intense. Intense. (D major) They dug it.
Well, I took my guitar
(G major) and my pick's and all.
(A major) Said farewell to my (D major) fateful old dog.
Cut out for Nashville where
(G major) they say you all,
them swinging (A major) cats,
are having a ball. (G major)
Recording sessions,
oh, (A major) just getting out of it,
something (D major) else, just something else.
I was picking my guitar
(G major) and getting the breaks,
(A major) girls all said that I (D major) had what it takes.
Up stepped a man with a (G major) big cigar,
he said, (A major) come here kid,
I'm gonna make you a (D major) star. (G major)
I'll put you on television,
(A major) buy you a Cadillac car,
sign here, clown. (D major)
So I signed my name, (G major) became a star,
(A major) just havin' a ball with (D major) my guitar.
I was drivin' a big, long (G major) Cadillac,
fight (A major) in' girls (D major) off (A major) my back (G major) .
Oh, they just kept a -comin', (A major)
darlings everywhere
They said, (D major) that's a cool cat,
and said, okay
I picked my guitar with (G major) a great big grin
Oh, (A major) the money just kept (D major) on pourin' in
Then one day, (G major) the good Uncle Sam,
he say
(A major) Knock, knock, here (D major) I am (G major)
He said, Uncle Sam needs (A major) you, boy
He said, (D major) I gonna cut your hair off
I said, you are, he said, uh -huh
He (G major) said, give me that (A major) guitar, kid (D major)
Take this here rifle
Let's (G major) see your act
(A major)
