C *

C  G   C              C7
Nashville Cats, play clean as country water
C  G   C              C7
Nashville Cats, play wild as mountain dew
C  G   C                C7
Nashville Cats, been playin' since they's babies
C  G   C               C7
Nashville Cats, get work before they're two

       C
Well, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two
    G
Guitar pickers in Nashville

And they can pick more notes than the number of ants
   C
On a Tennessee anthill

Yeah, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two
    F
Guitar cases in Nashville
    G
And any one that unpacks his guitar could play
     C      C7
Twice as better than I will

      C
Yeah, I was just thirteen, you might say I was a
          G
Musical proverbial knee-high

When I heard a couple new-sounding tunes on the tubes
          C
And they blasted me sky-high

F

    G

Nashville Cats, been playin' since they's babies
C  G   C               C7
Nashville Cats, get work before they're two



       C
Well, there's sixteen thousand eight hundred twenty one
G
Mothers from Nashville

All their friends play music, and they ain't uptight
  C
If one of the kids will

Because it's custom made for any mother's son
    F
To be a guitar picker in Nashville
   G
And I sure am glad I got a chance to say a word about
                C
The music and the mothers from Nashville

C  G   C              C7
Nashville Cats, play clean as country water
C  G   C              C7
Nashville Cats, play wild as mountain dew
C  G   C                C7
