Lyrics

A / / / 2 / / / 3 / / / 4 /
D
I've been-- chasin' the big wheels
G d
All over nashville
A
Waitin' for my big break to come
D
Livin' on ketchup soup, homemade
G d
Crackers and koolaid
I'll be a star tomorrow, but today
A7 d
I'm a nashville bum

G
I look good in cowboy clothes
D
And I sing through my nose
A
Webb said "that's the way to get 'er done"
D
I smoke good old pa
G d
Like the opry stars, they say
I'll be a star tomorrow, but today
A7 d
I'm a nashville bum

E
Well, a friend of a friend of mine
A e
Is a friend of art divines
B
And he finally got me on the opry show
E
I walked out like a star
A e
Tripped and busted my guitar
I'll be a star tomorrow, but today
B7 e
I'm a nashville bum

A
Well now, here's a song I wrote
E
By myself, note for note
B
With a lot of help, if I make number one
E
You can change a word or two
A e
And I'll give half of it to you
I'll be a star tomorrow, but today
B7 e
I'm a nashville bum
Yes, I'll be a star tomorrow, but today
B7 e
I'm a nashville bum
