Tennessee Flat Top Box Chords by Rosanne Cash

In a little cabaret in a South [F] Texas border town sat a boy and his guitar
And the people [Bb] came from all around and all the girls
From there to [F] Austin _ were slipping away from home and putting jewelry in hot
To take the trip to go and listen
_ To the little dark haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top [D] box and he [Eb] would play
Well _ _

[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ [C] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] he couldn't ride a wrangle and he never cared to make it down
But give him his guitar and he'd be happy [Bb] all the time
And all the girls from nine [F] to ninety
Were snapping fingers, tapping toes and begging [Bb] him don't stop
And _ hypnotized and fascinated
_ By the little dark haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box and [Eb] he would play
And _ _
_ [F] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ [F] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
[Eb] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ then one day he was gone and no one ever [F] saw him around
He vanished like the breeze and they forgot him in [Bb] the little town
But all the girls still [F] dreamed about him
_ And hung around the cabaret until the [Bb] doors were locked
And then one day on the hit [F] parade
_ _ Was a little dark haired boy who played the Tennessee flat [Bb] top box [D] and he [Eb] would play _ _ _
