[N] [D]
[A] [D] It [A] wasn't easy leaving Memphis, [D] [A] but I needed me a gig.
And I had this crazy [E] beautiful feeling, [A] man, I was on the edge of something big.
[E] So I [Am] took the interstate to [A] Nashville, [D] and I made my [A] noble stand.
[E] Working off [A] some old karma [E] with a [A] Stacy Mitch Hart band.
[D] [C] I'm a music [D] city glowing, because this is where I need to [A] be.
[Am] I'm one part [E] psychedelic gypsy, three parts blue-eyed [A] refugee.
I've come a long way from [D] Graceland, and you can't cope me [B] free.
My soul is [A] in Memphis, [E] but my ass is in Nashville, [A] Tennessee.
Well, I sat in with some cats, [D] and pretty soon words [A] snuck around.
[Am] Look at you then, though it's golden locks, has the [A] wildest [E] organ in town.
I'm still [A] dressing out of land skins, [D] so if you see me, man, [A] don't shoot.
[Am] I'm just prowling on down Music Road [E] in my Willie Mitchell [A] suit.
[Am] I'm a music [D] city glowing, because this is where I [A] need to be.
[Am] I'm one part [E] psychedelic gypsy, three parts blue-eyed [A] refugee.
I've come a long way [D] from Graceland, and you can't cope [B] me free.
My [A] soul is in Memphis, but [E] my ass is in Nashville, [A] Tennessee.
Tell them how it feels, brother Vo.

Well, I wake up [Am] every morning [Dm] with words [A] of praise upon my lips.
[Am] Praise for the [A] pioneers and outlaws that made [E] this city hip.
Praise for [A] the men that made Nashville Nashville, [D] and the women behind the [A] men.
Who put the funk back into country [E] and made Nashville [A] great again.
I'm a music city [D] glowing, because this is where I want [A] to be.
I'm one part [E] psychedelic gypsy, three parts blue-eyed [A] refugee.
I've come a long way from [D] Graceland, and you can't cope me [B] free.
My [A] soul is in Memphis, but [E] my ass is in Nashville, [A] Tennessee.
[Am] My soul is in [A] Memphis, but [E] my ass is in Nashville, [A] Tennessee.
[Am] My soul is in [A] Memphis, [E] but my ass is in Nashville, [Bm] Tennessee. [D] Tennessee!
