[C] [G]
[C] In the year of [G] 43, [C] Mama finished [F] feeding me
And quickly [C] rushed off to [G] her job at [C] Worthen's Bag Mill
But at Forth and [G] Monroe Street, [C] a feeling hard stopped her [F] willing feet
And [C] Mama gave up the [G] breath of life in the [C] town of Nashville
[G] Daddy was in the county jail, [F] so my older [C] sister Nell
Took a job at a [G] tavern that some folks [C] called the trash mill
[G] And when the welfare agency [F] offered help, Nell [C] smiled at me
No thanks, but [G] we'll get by in this [C] town of Nashville
As a kid I [G] went to school, [C] perched up high on a [F] tavern stool
[C] Listening to the songs [G] on the jukebox at the trash mill
[C] And that hurting in them [G] sad old songs [C] settled deep in a poor [F] boy's bones
And [C] I vowed I'd [G] someday pick and [C] sing in Nashville
So [G] my older sister Nell, [F] like a true blue [C] southern belle
Bought me a second [G]-handed guitar from the [C] Nashville Goodwill
Heaven [G]
would smile and rain when [F] I touched those [C] shiny strings
And I was the richest [G] poor boy in the [C] town of Nashville
[G]
[C#] There's a chill down in [G#] my bones as [C#] it's my time to [F#] go on
And [C#] I'm sure the good Lord [G#] knows just [C#] how I feel
[G#] Though [C#] they're calling me [G#] a star, I [C#] can't forget about that first [F#] guitar
And the lady [C#] who helped me make it [G#] big in this town [C#] of Nashville
[C] In the year of [G] 43, [C] Mama finished [F] feeding me
And quickly [C] rushed off to [G] her job at [C] Worthen's Bag Mill
