Tennessee Flat Top Box Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

 verse1 In a lAittle cabaret in a South Texas bEorder town

  Sat a Eboy and his guitar and the people came from Aall around

  AEnd aF♯ll tG♯he gAirls from there to AEustin

  Were sElippin' 'way from home and puttin' jewelry in Ahock

  TEo tF♯ake tG♯he tArip, to go and lEisten

  To the lEittle dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top Abox

  AAnd Bhe wC♯ould pDlay

turnaround D / / / A D / / A (repeat)

verse2 Well, he couldn't ride or wrangle, and he never cared to make a dime

But give him his guitar, and he'd be happy all the time

And all the girls from nine to ninety

Were snapping fingers, tapping toes, and begging him don't stop

And hypnotized and fascinated

By the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box

And he would play

turnaround

verse3 Then one day he was gone, and no one ever saw him 'round

He vanished like the breeze, they forgot him in the little town

But all the girls still dreamed about him

And hung around the cabaret until the doors were locked

And then one day on the 'Hit Parade'

Was a little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box

And he would play

I'll try to post tab for the turnaround lick next week. I'm new at this.

I have the other Rosanne songs you requested coming. Plus 'Hold On' from

_Rythym and Romance_.
