Tennesee Flat Top Box Chords

  			 
 
tuning is pretty iffy. Could never quite get it. Standard tuning if your not playing  
with the song sounds great though.

A                                      E 
In a little cabaret in a South Texas border town, 
                                                          A 
Sat a boy and his guitar, and the people came from all around. 
                                  E 
And all the girls from there to Austin, 
                                                       A 
Were slippin' away from home and puttin' jewelery in hock. 
                              E 
To take the trip, to go and listen, 
                                                                 A 
To the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box. 

               D 
And he would play:            A

 A                                                                E 
Well, he couldn't ride or wrangle and he never cared to make a dime 
                                                     A 
But give him his guitar, and he'd be happy all the time. 
                                 E 
And all the girls from nine to ninety, 
                                                             A 
Were snapping fingers, tapping toes, and begging him: "Don't stop." 
                       E 
And hypnotized and fascinated, 
                                                                 A 
By the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box. 

        D               A 
And he would play: Repeat solo) 

 A                                                   E 
Then one day he was gone, and no one ever saw him 'round, 
                                                              A 
He'd vanished like the breeze, they forgot him in the little town. 
                                       E 
But all the girls still dreamed about him. 
                                                    A 
And hung around the cabaret until the doors were locked. 
                              E 
And then one day on the Hit Parade, 
                                                                A 
Was a little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box. 


               D        A 
And he would play: Repeat Solo)
