very easy |||||
             G                            C                              D                                                      C  
Late one morning I just packed my things
G                                                 C                         D                                    C  
Burned all my bills and I hopped a plane
G                            C                                              D                         C  
I told the cops and the bankers goodbye
                                          G              C                                    D                                                      C  
They said "Don't let us catch you, you owe us your life"
                                     G                                 C                                                              D         C  
Well, the plane was headed East and so I was
G                                 C                                              D                                 C  
Bound for Tennessee to outrun the fuzz
G                                      C                      D                 C  
They found me in a day or two
                                G      C                              D                                                 C                              G  
Now I'm flat busted in jail, fightin' the Nashville blues
G                                            C                    D                                 C  
I like George Jones, Willie and Waylon
                          G                                                                                    C                              D                                      C  
I think Kris (Kristofferson) and Merle are songwrittin' saviors
G                                            C                         D                            C  
Townes Van Zant, he died too soon
                                                  G                                            C  
But now hes up there with Hank
                                                          D                                      C                            G  
And there both fightin' the Nashville blues
G                                                                            C                            D                 C  
Well the songwritin's left up to old hillbillies
G                                      C                                              D                                                            C  
hippies and rednecks and girls like Miss Emmylou
G                    C                                                         D                      C  
I'm too young to have a point of view
                                     G                      C                                      D                                    C                            G  
But I just want to be a part of fightin' the Nashville blues
G                                         C                            D                                 C  
Fightin' the Nashville blues ain't fun
G                              C                                      D  C  
It takes a toll on your mind
G                                    C                                                    D                                      C  
But all the great ones they been there too
                                                          G                              C                              G  
And they're all fightin' the Nashville blues
Well, I moved back to Austin to try to make a livin
