If Merle Would Sing My Song Chords

Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

 INTRO C F C Am 2x

Verse 1

CI've been walkin' these streets of Nashville

Since I was a little kid

FEither in these Gboots or in my Cdreams

 I spent Call I had to buy this Martin

 And I've been Amricher since I did

 Even Fthough I can't Gafford to change the Cstrings

 I've Amheard a lot of "Emno's" and "no Fthank you's"

DmSometimes I wonder Gwhy I'm even Chere

 But I Amstill could be an Emovernight senFsation

 It wouldDm only take one sympathetic Gear

Chorus

 If CMerle would sing my song, AmI could go back home

 And tell Feveryone I Gknow that dreams comeC true

 I'd be Csomeone in their eyes,

 A face that Amthey'd all recognize

 I could Fprove to them and me AmI wasn't Dmwrong

 If FMerle would sing my Csong

Verse 2

 I'll bet I'Cve played this guitar

 In every Chonkytonk and bar

FBut as of yet they Ghaven't noticed Cme

 But this Cheart and soul of mine

 Is filled with Ammemories, chords, and rhymes

 And I Fknow that I'm the Gfuture they can't Csee

 I could Ammaybe make a Emmillion dollars Fchokin' in a tie

 But Dmthen I'd have to Glive with my reCgret

 I know AmGod didn't Emgive me all these Fdreams to let 'em die

 I'll Dmmake it big, it just hasn't happened Gyet

Chorus

 And if CMerle would sing my song, AmI could go back home

 And tell Feveryone I Gknow that dreams comeC true

 I'd be Csomeone in their eyes,

 A face that Amthey'd all recognize

 I could Fprove to them and me AmI wasn't Dmwrong

 If FMerle would sing my Csong

 I could Fprove to them and me AmI wasn't Dmwrong

 If FMerle would sing my Csong F C Am
