         C
I've been-- chasin' the big wheels

F         C
 All over Nashville

                            G
Waitin' for my big break to come

          C
Livin' on ketchup soup, homemade

F             C
 Crackers and KoolAid
I'll be a star tomorrow, but today
      G7        C
I'm a Nashville bum

       F
I look good in cowboy clothes

      C
And I sing through my nose

                                     G
Webb said "That's the way to get 'er done"

  C
I smoke good old PA

         F                C
Like the Opry stars, they say
I'll be a star tomorrow, but today
      G7        C
I'm a Nashville bum

        D
Well, a friend of a friend of mine

     G               D
Is a friend of art divines

                                  A
And he finally got me on the Opry show

  D
I walked out like a star

            G         D
Tripped and busted my guitar
I'll be a star tomorrow, but today
      A7        D
I'm a Nashville bum

          G
Well now, here's a song I wrote

     D
By myself, note for note

                                     A
With a lot of help, if I make Number One

        D
You can change a word or two

              G             D
And I'll give half of it to you
I'll be a star tomorrow, but today
      A7        D
I'm a Nashville bum
Yes, I'll be a star tomorrow, but today
      A7        D
I'm a Nashville bum
