In a little _ cabaret in a South Texas [A] border town
sat a boy on his guitar
and the people came from [D] all around
and all the girls _ from [A] there to Austin _
were slipping away from home
putting [D] jewelry in their pockets
Big trick _ _
Go and [A] listen _ to the little dark haired boy
that played the Tennessee [D] Flattop Box
[G] and he was great _ _ _

Well he couldn't ride a ram _
and he never cared [A] to make a dime
to give him his guitar _ _
He'd be happy [D] all the time
and all the girls _ from nine to [A] ninety _ _
were snapping fingers, tapping toes
and begging [D] him don't stop
He was tired
_ _ and _ [A] fascinated _ _
by the little dark haired boy
that played the Tennessee Flattop Box
and [G] he was great _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _

Then one day he was gone
and no one ever [A] saw him around
He vanished like the breeze
and they forgot him in [D] the little town
and all the girls _ still dreamed [A] about him _ _
_ hung around the cabaret
till the [D] doors were locked
and one day
_ only [A] hit the grave _ _ _
was the little dark haired boy
that played the Tennessee [D] Flattop Box
and [G] he was great _ _ _
