Eddie Noack – When I Get To Nashville (Guitar)

          G
Won't you please stop nagging me about that brand new dress?

C
   You know, I've worked and done my best

D
Been saving my money for all these years

         G
And when I get to Nashville, there'll be no more tears

       C
Eating high on the hog

D
   Putting on the dog

G
Buying everything in the new catalog

    G
You know, all my life, I've picked and strummed

C
   Why, there ain't a tune that I can't hum

D
   And folks all said from near and far

      G
That, someday, I'd be an Opry star

             C
That's how I got you, honey

           D
Why, you know'd I'd be in the money

             G
Never was no flies on you, gal

          G
And you remember that time at the county seat

       C
When I shook hands with Ernest Tubb?

    D
And he liked that song I sung him too

          G
'cause he asked me to send him a dub

                  C
And he called me "son". Remember that? "Son"!

     D
Just like he knowed me all his life

           G
That's my kind of folks

        G
Why, you just look at the Nashville telephone book

         C
They got publishers from A to Z

D
Darn near fills up one of them Yeller Pages

    G
And all of 'em are waiting just for me

               C
But they won't have to quarrel

             D
I got enough songs for 'em all

              G
And writing more every day too

      G
[???] Hush up, little Roy Acuff cover I just know [???]

          C
Can't you hear your Daddy's a-talking?

D
Wait 'til you hear this new one, hon

              G
I wrote while I was out a-walking

        G
Why, if that ain't just like a woman, she's fast asleep

C
While I'm a-working, she's a-dreaming

D                                                G
I'd have probably got to Nashville a long time ago

         G
If she'd help me with my scheming

          C
She never did have no ambition

     D
Just sits around a-wishing

              G
Wearing that funny little smile

      G
Well, you just keep on dreaming, then

                  C
Someday, honey, those dreams are gonna all come true

      D
Those things I promised when we was courting

       G
In the moon, all tired and blue

          C
You'll be proud of me

     D                             G
When I get to Nashville, Tennessee
