INTRO C F C Am 2x
VERSE 1:
C
I've been walkin' these streets of Nashville
Since I was a little kid
F G C
Either in these boots or in my dreams
C
I spent all I had to buy this Martin
Am
And I've been richer since I did
F G C
Even though I can't afford to change the strings
Am Em F
I've heard a lot of "no's" and "no thank you's"
Dm G C
Sometimes I wonder why I'm even here
Am Em F
But I still could be an overnight sensation
Dm G
It would only take one sympathetic ear
CHORUS:
C Am
If Merle would sing my song, I could go back home
F G C
And tell everyone I know that dreams come true
C
I'd be someone in their eyes,
Am
A face that they'd all recognize
F Am Dm
I could prove to them and me I wasn't wrong
F C
If Merle would sing my song
VERSE 2:
C
I'll bet I've played this guitar
C
In every honkytonk and bar
F G C
But as of yet they haven't noticed me
C
But this heart and soul of mine
Am
Is filled with memories, chords, and rhymes
F G C
And I know that I'm the future they can't see
Am Em F
I could maybe make a million dollars chokin' in a tie
Dm G C
But then I'd have to live with my regret
Am Em F
I know God didn't give me all these dreams to let 'em die
Dm G
I'll make it big, it just hasn't happened yet
CHORUS:
C Am
And if Merle would sing my song, I could go back home
F G C
And tell everyone I know that dreams come true
C
I'd be someone in their eyes,
Am
A face that they'd all recognize
F Am Dm
I could prove to them and me I wasn't wrong
F C
If Merle would sing my song
F Am Dm
I could prove to them and me I wasn't wrong
F C F C Am
If Merle would sing my song
MERLE:
C
He's been walkin' them streets of Nashville
Since he was a little kid
