C   G     C                           C7
Nashville Cats, play clean as country water
C   G     C                           C7
Nashville Cats, play wild as mountain dew
C   G     C                               C7
Nashville Cats, been playin' since they's babies
C   G     C                             C7
Nashville Cats, get work before they're two

              C                
Well, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two
       G
Guitar pickers in Nashville

And they can pick more notes than the number of ants
     C
On a Tennessee anthill

Yeah, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two
       F
Guitar cases in Nashville
        G                
And any one that unpacks his guitar could play
         C           C7
Twice as better than I will

            C
Yeah, I was just thirteen, you might say I was a
                   G
Musical proverbial knee-high

When I heard a couple new-sounding tunes on the tubes
                    C
And they blasted me sky-high

And the record man said every one is a yellow Sun
F
Record from Nashville
       G
And up north there ain't nobody buys them
                C C7
And I said, but I will

And it was

C   G     C                           C7
Nashville Cats, play clean as country water
C   G     C                           C7
Nashville Cats, play wild as mountain dew
C   G     C                               C7
Nashville Cats, been playin' since they's babies
C   G     C                             C7
Nashville Cats, get work before they're two

              C
Well, there's sixteen thousand eight hundred twenty one
G
Mothers from Nashville

All their friends play music, and they ain't uptight
   C
If one of the kids will

Because it's custom made for any mother's son
        F
To be a guitar picker in Nashville
      G
And I sure am glad I got a chance to say a word about
                               C
The music and the mothers from Nashville

C   G     C                           C7
Nashville Cats, play clean as country water
C   G     C                           C7
Nashville Cats, play wild as mountain dew
C   G     C                               C7
Nashville Cats, been playin' since they's babies
C   G     C                             C7
Nashville Cats, get work before they're two . . . picking
