Intro GG Won't you please stop nagging me about that brand new dress? C You know, I've worked and done my best D Been saving my money for all these years G And when I get to Nashville, there'll be no more tears C Eating high on the hog D Putting on the dog G Buying everything in the new catalogVerse 1:
G You know, all my life, I've picked and strummed C Why, there ain't a tune that I can't hum D And folks all said from near and far G That, someday, I'd be an Opry star C That's how I got you, honey D Why, you know'd I'd be in the money G Never was no flies on you, galVerse 2:
G And you remember that time at the county seat C When I shook hands with Ernest Tubb? D And he liked that song I sung him too G 'cause he asked me to send him a dub C And he called me "son". Remember that? "Son"! D Just like he knowed me all his life G That's my kind of folksVerse 3:
G Why, you just look at the Nashville telephone book C They got publishers from A to Z D Darn near fills up one of them Yeller Pages G And all of 'em are waiting just for me C But they won't have to quarrel D I got enough songs for 'em all G And writing more every day tooVerse 4:
G ??? Hush up, little Roy Acuff cover I just know ??? C Can't you hear your Daddy's a-talking? D Wait 'til you hear this new one, hon G I wrote while I was out a-walking G Why, if that ain't just like a woman, she's fast asleep C While I'm a-working, she's a-dreaming D G I'd have probably got to Nashville a long time ago G If she'd help me with my scheming C She never did have no ambition D Just sits around a-wishing G Wearing that funny little smileVerse 5:
G Well, you just keep on dreaming, then C Someday, honey, those dreams are gonna all come true D Those things I promised when we was courting G In the moon, all tired and blue C You'll be proud of me D G When I get to Nashville, TennesseeVerse 6:
