Dolly Parton – Down On Music Row (Guitar)

G

[tab]G
If you want to be a star

D                          G
That's where you've got to go

G
I could feel a change a coming

C
I left my hometown a humming

G
With my ol' guitar a strumming

D
Songs that I had wrote

G
I was on my way to Nashville

C
I just couldn't hardly wait

G
Till I could sing my songs

D                     G
To the folks on Music Row

G
I got into Nashville early

C
Sleepy, hungry, tired and dirty

G
And on the steps of RCA

D
I ate a stale, sweet roll

G
In the fountain at the hall of fame

C
I washed my face and read the names

G
In the walkway of the stars

D             G
Down on Music Row

G
Down on Music Row

C
Down on music Row

G
If you want to be a star

D                          G
That's where you've got to go

G#
I waited there 'till eight o'clock

C#
When office doors became unlocked

G#
Then I started walking

D#
Down the streets of Music Row

G#
Just a walking up and down the street

C#
Trying to find out who to see

G#
To help me get on record

D#                        G#
And to hear the songs I'd wrote

G#
But I found it going rough

C#
Everyone was all tied up

G#
Either in a conference

D#
Or in the studio

G#
They said that I could leave a tape

C#
But they'd suggest I didn't wait

G#
'Cause everyone was awful busy

D#            G#
Down on Music Row

G#
But I could feel that change a coming

C#
And I just kept right on a humming

G#
With my ol' guitar still strumming

D#
All them songs that I'd wrote

G#
And then Chet and Bob at RCA

C#
Well, they listened to my songs that day

G#
And they both told me that I was on my way

D#            G#
Down on Music Row

G
Down on Music Row

C
Down on music Row

G
If you want to be a star

D                          G
That's where you've got to go
