If Merle Would Sing My Song

	  		CAPO  1 
 
Tabbed By: Emrldeyzs 
 
INTRO C  F  C  Am 2x 
 
VERSE 1: 
 
C 
I've been walkin' these streets of Nashville 
Since I was a little kid 
F               G              C  
Either in these boots or in my dreams 
        C   
I spent all I had to buy this Martin 
              Am 
And I've been richer since I did 
     F              G                    C   
Even though I can't afford to change the strings 
     Am              Em            F 
I've heard a lot of "no's" and "no thank you's" 
Dm                 G            C 
Sometimes I wonder why I'm even here 
      Am                Em           F 
But I still could be an overnight sensation 
        Dm                         G 
It would only take one sympathetic ear 
 
CHORUS: 
 
   C                         Am   
If Merle would sing my song, I could go back home 
         F          G                    C   
And tell everyone I know that dreams come true 
       C 
I'd be someone in their eyes,  
            Am 
A face that they'd all recognize 
        F                    Am       Dm 
I could prove to them and me I wasn't wrong 
   F                   C  
If Merle would sing my song 
 
VERSE 2:   
           C 
I'll bet I've played this guitar 
         C 
In every honkytonk and bar 
F                  G               C       
But as of yet they haven't noticed me 
         C 
But this heart and soul of mine 
               Am 
Is filled with memories, chords, and rhymes 
      F                 G                 C 
And I know that I'm the future they can't see 
        Am           Em              F        
I could maybe make a million dollars chokin' in a tie 
    Dm               G              C 
But then I'd have to live with my regret 
       Am         Em                F 
I know God didn't give me all these dreams to let 'em die 
     Dm                                   G 
I'll make it big, it just hasn't happened yet 
 
CHORUS: 
       C                         Am   
And if Merle would sing my song, I could go back home 
         F          G                    C   
And tell everyone I know that dreams come true 
       C 
I'd be someone in their eyes,  
            Am 
A face that they'd all recognize 
        F                    Am       Dm 
I could prove to them and me I wasn't wrong 
   F                   C  
If Merle would sing my song 
        F                    Am       Dm 
I could prove to them and me I wasn't wrong 
   F                   C     F  C  Am 
If Merle would sing my song 
 
MERLE: 
          C             
He's been walkin' them streets of Nashville 
Since he was a little kid 
F             G               C      C  -FADE 
Either in his boots or in his dreams
