A A G D
I wanna be famous
[Verse]
A G D
I got my first guitar when I was 3,
A G D
I took that thing everywhere with me
A G D
Strummin along to all my favorite songs,
A G D
Using what I could find for a microphone
[Pre-Chorus]
E D
Mom and Dad, they would ask me,
E D
When you grow up, what do you wanna be?
D
And I said
[Chorus]
A G
I wannabe famous, wannabe a Rockstar,
D
wannabe on that stage with my guitar,
A G
Singing my songs all night long,
D
rockin out a redneck melody
A G
I wanna play just like Merle Haggard,
D
Cause Lord knows Mama Tried
E D
I wanna hear the crowd singing along to all my songs,
D
Damn right I’m a wannabe
[Verse]
A G D
I turned 18 and I moved to, Tennessee
A G D
Country music had this hold on me
A G D
Honkytonks, loud crowds, and neon lights
A G D
Just playing for tips, most nights
[Pre-Chorus]
E D
Writing songs, trying to break through
E D
This is all I’ve ever wanted to do
[Chorus]

I wannabe famous, wannabe a Rockstar,

Singing my songs all night long,

Cause Lord knows Mama Tried

I wanna hear the crowd singing along to all my songs,

Hearing our songs on the radio
