[Verse]
C                            
The moon on the Cumberland River

      G                     C
Went down In a cold bloody red

                           G
And you lay beside me and trembled

                             D
Like I don't belong in your bed

      C                        
It's just like that night on Old Hickory

         G                     C
And the motel way out on west end 

                             G
You tried but your heart was in it  

            D                    G
Now you're fighting against it again
[Chorus]
         C                           
And the battle of Nashville is raging

        G                       D
There's a troubling deep in my soul

        C                      G
Here's my swan song for music city 

          D                  G
Cause my forces are out of control

        C                           
I have hope against hope that you love me 

        G                        C
And my heart won't give up the fight

                               G
So the battle of Nashville continues

       D                              G
And I pray you'll you're surrender tonight
[Verse]
      C                          
Many times I've regrouped my emotions

      G                               C
And smiles through the struggles and pain

                            G
And make believe I'm all together

                      D
Just like I'm doing again

                                G
But my little defeats keep on coming  

       C                       G
Cause you keep on holding the line 

       C                      G
I'm loosing ground with you daily

           D                G
And it's just a matter of time
[Chorus]
         C                           
And the battle of Nashville is raging

        G                       D
There's a troubling deep in my soul

        C                      G
Here's my swan song for music city 

          D                  G
Cause my forces are out of control

        C                           
I have hope against hope that you love me 

        G                        C
And my heart won't give up the fight

                               G
So the battle of Nashville continues

       D                              G
And I pray you'll you're surrender tonight
