[G] [A] [Gm] .
[Eb] [C] [Bb] .
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 [F] there to Austin .
were slipping away from home and putting jewelry [Bb] and thought to take a trip.
to go and [F] listen to the little dark-haired boy that played the Tennessee [Bb] flat-top boxing.
[Eb] And he would play, [Gm] .
[Bb] [Eb] .

[D] [C] [Bb] well he couldn't ride or wrangle and he never [F] cared to make a dime.
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 him.
[Bb] don't stop and hypnotize and [F] fascinated by the little dark-haired boy that.
played the Tennessee [Bb] flat-top boxing.
He would [Eb] play, [Ab] .
[F] [Bb] [Eb] .

[F] [Bb] [G] [Eb] .
[Bb] then one day he was gone.
and no one [F] ever saw him round.
He vanished like the breeze and they forgot him in.
the little [Bb] town but all the girls still dreamed [F] about him and hung around the.
cabaret until the doors [Bb] were [F] locked and then one day [Bb] on the hit [F] parade was a.
little dark-haired boy that played the Tennessee [Bb] flat-top boxing.
[Eb] He would play.
