Tennessee Flat Top
By Johnny Cash
C G7
In a little cabaret in a South Texas border town
C
Sat a boy and his guitar and the people came from all around
G7 C G7
And all the girls from there to Austin
C
Were slipping way from home and putting jewelry in hock
G7 C G7
To take the trip to go and listen
C
To the little dark haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box
F
And he would play
C G7
Well he couldn't ride or wrangle and he never cared to make a dime
C
But give him his guitar and he'd be happy all the time
G7 C G7
And all the girls from nine to ninety
C
We're snapping fingers tapping toes and begging him don't stop
G7 C G7
And hypnotized and fascinated
C
By the little dark haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box
F
And he would play
G7
Then one day he was gone and no one ever saw him around
C
He vanished like the breeze they forgot him in the little town
G7 C G7
But all the girls still dreamed about him
C
And hung around the cabaret until the doors were locked
G7 C G7
And then one day on the Hit Parade
C
Was a little dark haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box
F
And he would play
