[Verse 1]
      A                                E
In a little cabaret, in a south Texas border town,
                                                    A
Sat a boy and his guitar, and the people came from miles around.
                                 E
And all the girls from there to Austin were slippin' 'way from home
                        A                               E
And puttin' jew'lry in hock to take the trip to go and listen
                                                                  A
To the little dark haired boy that played the Tennessee flat top box.
               D
And he would play...

[Verse 2]
          A                                               E
Well, he couldn't ride or wrangle, and he never cared to make a dime.
                                           A
But give him his guitar and he'd be happy all the time.
                                E
And all the girls from nine to ninety
                                                              A
Were snappin' fingers, tappin' toes and beggin' him, "Don't stop!"
                          E
And hypnotized, and fascinated
                                                                  A
By the little dark haired boy that played the Tennessee flat top box.
               D
And he would play...

[Verse 3]
      A                                   E
Then one day he was gone and no one ever saw him 'round.
                                                         A
He vanished like the breeze, and they forgot him in the little town.
                                  E
But all the girls still dreamed about him
                                                  A
And hung around the cabaret until the doors were locked.
                               E
And then one day on the hit parade
                                                                 A
Was a little dark haired boy that played the Tennessee flat top box.
               D
And he would play...
