Tom: A
A D A A Asus A
[Verse 1]
A D A Asus A
It wasn’t easy leaving Memphis but I needed me a gig
A
And I had this crazy beautiful feeling man,
E Esus E
I was on the edge of something big
A
So I took the inter-state to Nashville
D A Asus A
And I made my noble stand
A E A D A
Working off some old Karma with the Stacey Mitchhard band
[Chorus]
A D A Asus A
I’m a music city blowin cos this is where I need to be
A E A Asus A
I’m one part psychedelic gypsy three parts blue eyed refugee
A D B
I’ve come a long way from Graceland and you can quote me free
A E A Asus A
My soul is in Memphis but my ass is in Nashville, Tennessee
[Verse 2]
A D A Asus A
Well I sat in with some cats and pretty soon word snuck around
A E Esus E
That the dude there known as Goldilocks has the wildest organ in town
A D A Asus A
I’m a bad-ass maker-shaker so if you see me man don’t shoot
A E A
I’m just a prowling on down music route in my Willie Mitchell suit
[Chorus]
A D A Asus A
I’m a music city blowin cos this is where I need to be
A E A Asus A
I’m one part psychedelic gypsy three parts blue eyed refugee
A D B
I’ve come a long way from Graceland and you can quote me free
A E A Asus A
My soul is in Memphis but my ass is in Nashville, Tennessee
[Verse 3]
A D A Asus A
Well I wake up every morning with words of praise upon my lips
A E Esus E
Praise for the pioneers and outlaws that made this city hip
A
Praise for the men that made Nashville, Nashville
D A Asus A
And the women behind the men
A E A
who put the funk back into country and made Nashville great again
[Chorus]
A D A Asus A
I’m a music city blowin cos this is where I want to be
A E A Asus A
I’m one part psychedelic gypsy three parts blue eyed refugee
A D B
I’ve come a long way from Graceland and you can quote me free
A E A Asus A
My soul is in Memphis but my ass is in Nashville, Tennessee
A E A Asus A
My soul is in Memphis but my ass is in Nashville, Tennessee
A E D C#m Bm A
My soul is in Memphis but my ass is in Nashville, Tennessee
