Key: D

Intro:

D


Verse 1:
D
New kid in town, he's a stoner
G                           D
Singing through a homegrown grin
D
Up on stage, he's a loner
      A
Got a small band of outlaw friends
        D
You can tell by his songs he's done some living
        G                          D
Oh he's danced with a heartache or two
D

Late night beer joint women
     A                  D
He's out to walk in ole Hank's shoes


Chorus:
G                D
Down on Broadway they come to sing
G                     D
Riding on high hopes, living on dreams
G                                      D
Streets are crawling with them here in guitar town
Bm                    A
It chews them up, and spits them out
G                      D
It's in the blood that some of them bleed
G                  D
For some an unsung mystery
G                    D
Hard row to hoe here in Tennessee
       Bm                A
We got them that are and has-beens
    G     A     D
And never gonna be


Verse 2:
D
Some may drown in the whiskey
     G                     D
I've seen them burn out on speed
D
A few walk the straight and narrow
A
Some stay high on weed
D
Most come from little or nothing
G                     D
All have something to prove
D
Songs about losing and loving
     A                       D
Most end up just singing the blues


Chorus:
G                D
Down on Broadway they come to sing
G                     D
Riding on high hopes, living on dreams
G                                      D
Streets are crawling with them here in guitar town
Bm                    A
It chews them up, and spits them out
G                      D
It's in the blood that some of them bleed
G                  D
For some an unsung mystery
G                    D
Hard row to hoe here in Tennessee
       Bm         A
We got big stars, has-beens
    G     A     D
And never gonna be
