Standard (EADGBE)

 I've been-- chasin' the big wheels

  All over Nashville

 Waitin' for my big break to come

 Livin' on ketchup soup, homemade

  Crackers and KoolAid

I'll be a star tomorrow, but today

 I'm a Nashville bum

 I look good in cowboy clothes

 And I sing through my nose

 Webb said "That's the way to get 'er done"

 I smoke good old PA

 Like the Opry stars, they say

I'll be a star tomorrow, but today

 I'm a Nashville bum

 Well, a friend of a friend of mine

 Is a friend of art divines

 And he finally got me on the Opry show

 I walked out like a star

 Tripped and busted my guitar

I'll be a star tomorrow, but today

 I'm a Nashville bum

 Well now, here's a song I wrote

 By myself, note for note

 With a lot of help, if I make Number One

 You can change a word or two

 And I'll give half of it to you

I'll be a star tomorrow, but today

 I'm a Nashville bum

Yes, I'll be a star tomorrow, but today
