Bb C D Bb C D
D
The streets are paved with tourists
G
And the record company flourshed
C D
Lord knows every singer wants to be the king
But some of'em couldn't take it
G
And some good ones didn't make it
C G D
That's the way it goes on the Nashville scene
D
Now there's a whino on the corner
G
He was a well known guitar picker
C D
Till he got burned out by the game
Now he'll bum you for some whiskey
G
And tell ya how it was
C G D
Back in 52 when he played for Hank
C G D
And I'm watchin' the sun go down this evenin'
C G D
And soon it'll wake this town that's made on dreams
C G Bb
But before it does a new star will be shinin'
C D
That's the way it is on the Nashville scene
D
From the outside it;s a castle
G
From the inside its a prison
C D
Its easy to live way beyond your means
And it's a long long way to the top
G
And even further when you drop
C G D
And I've been on both ends of the Nashville scene
C G D
And I'm watchin' the sun go down this evenin'
C G D
And soon it'll wake this town that's made on dreams
C G Bb
But before it does a new star will be shinin'
C D
Lightin' up the Nashville scene
C G D
Yeah and I'm standin here as the sun goes down this evenin'
C G D
And soon it'll wake this town that's made on dreams
C G Bb
But before it does a new star will be shinin'
C D
Lightin' up the Nashville scene
C D
Lightin' up the ole Nashville scene
