Verse
C
The moon on the Cumberland River
G C
Went down In a cold bloody red
G
And you lay beside me and trembled
D
Like I don't belong in your bed
C
It's just like that night on Old Hickory
G C
And the motel way out on west end
G
You tried but your heart was in it
D G
Now you're fighting against it again
C
And the battle of Nashville is raging
G D
There's a troubling deep in my soul
C G
Here's my swan song for music city
D G
Cause my forces are out of control
C
I have hope against hope that you love me
G C
And my heart won't give up the fight
G
So the battle of Nashville continues
D G
And I pray you'll you're surrender tonight

Many times I've regrouped my emotions
G C
And smiles through the struggles and pain

Cause you keep on holding the line

I'm loosing ground with you daily

And it's just a matter of time

And the battle of Nashville is raging

There's a troubling deep in my soul

Here's my swan song for music city
