In a little cabaret in a South [F] Texas border town sat a boy and his guitar
And the people came [Bb] from all around and all the girls
From [F] there to Austin were slipping away from home and putting jewelry [Bb] in haute
To take the trip to go [F] and listen _
To the little dark haired boy who played the Tennessee [Bb]
[D] Flattop Fox and [Eb] he would play
Well _ _
[F] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
[F] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ [Dm] _ [Eb] _
[D] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
he couldn't ride a Wrangler and he never cared [F] to make it down
But give him his guitar and he'd be happy [Bb] all the time
And all the girls from [F] nine to ninety
Were snapping fingers, tapping toes and begging him don't [Bb] stop
And hypnotized and [F] fascinated _
By the little dark haired boy who played the Tennessee [Bb] Flattop [Eb] Fox and he would play
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _
[F] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Ab] _
[F] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ [Dm] _ [Eb] _
[C] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
And then one day he was gone and no [F] one ever saw him around
He'd vanished like the breeze and they forgot [Bb] him in the little town
But all the girls still dreamed [F] about him
_ And hung around the cabaret until [Bb] the doors were locked
And then one day on the hit [F] parade _
Was a little dark haired boy who played the Tennessee [Bb] Flattop [D] Fox and [Eb] he would [D] play
