[Bb]
[D] You want to mess your mouthwash, eh?
[C] This [B] is a song I wrote in Nashville, [D] and it's one night I [N] was so high I needed a step ladder to scratch my ass.
And somehow I took the insurance company that sponsors the Grand Ole Opry, that's called the Nashville [F] Life and Casualty Insurance Company.
And [G] I came up with Nashville Casualty.
[D]
[C] In [G] Fayette and Gaberdeen he [C] used to stand
Down by the Union Station [E] with that old hat in his hand
[G] A banjo [C]-picking devil, a singing ragtime son
[D] [F] Snake, snake
The [D] young folks called him Beautiful [G] Annie
The old folks called [C] him Queen
And the stationmaster pointed to the sign
And they busted him [Am] for loitering, but he was [G] making every time
Out in the thawing [Dm] snow he'd sing his [F] song
[G] Too warm, too cold to [C] listen, [G] too white [C] to sing along
Just a Nashville Casualty life
[Dm] Done left him with an [C] aladine
[D] Ever since the good lord [Am] took his wife
[Dm] You'd find him coming around the corner [G] all the time
[D] Post to Music City, [G] and [C] I saw
The [F] world within [D] a [C] song
A Nashville Casualty [G] life
Goes [C] on in [D] the attic sets a dusty hat of [C] cane
And the [A] kids that found the banjo there [Dm] are all rusty from [G] the rain
[C] I strummed a little rusty [F] ragtime beat
And I sang [G] for every soul on the [C] street
I can almost see it, standing in the rain
His [A] black and blinded face [Dm] reflecting all the pain
[G] Of [D] all the years and people [F] passing by
And [C] all the ringing memories that [G] came make a banjo [C] cry
Just a Nashville Casualty life
[F] It's a riff that's held [C] to play
He sings for you living [G] on the [Am] streets
[Dm] And the lord, he sleeps in that [G] cassock cafe
[D] Post to Music City, and [C] I've seen
The [F] world within a song
A Nashville [G] Casualty life
[F] Goes on
[B] [C] [N]
