[C] [G]
[C] In the year of [G] 43, Mama [C] finished feeding [F] me,
And quickly [C] rushed off to her [G] job at [C] Worthen's Bag Mill.
But at Forth and Monroe [G] Street, a [C] failing heart stopped her willing [F] feet,
And Mama gave up the breath [G] of life in the town [C] of Nashville.
[C] Daddy [G] was in the county jail, [F] so my older [C] sister Nell
Took a job at a [G] tavern that some folks [C] called the Trash Mill.
[G] And when the welfare agency [F] offered help, Nell [C] smiled at me,
Said, oh thanks, but [G] we'll get by in this [C] town of Nashville.
As a kid I [G] went to school, [C] perched up high on a [F] tavern stool,
[C] Listening to the songs [G] on the jukebox [C] at the Trash Mill.
[A]
[C] And that hurtin' in them [G] sad old songs [C] settled deep in a poor [F] boy's bone,
[C] And I vowed I'd [G] someday pick and [C] sing in Nashville.
So [G] my older sister Nell, [F] like a true blue [C] southern belle,
Bought me a second [G]-handed guitar [C] from the Nashville Goodwill.
[G] Heaven would smile and bells would ring [F] when I touched those [C] shiny strings,
And I was the richest [G] poor boy in [C] the town of Nashville.
[G#] [C#] There's a chill down [G#] in my bones, [C#] as it's my time [F#] to go on,
[C#] And I'm sure the good [G#] Lord knows [C#] just how I feel.
[G#] [C#] Though they're calling [G#] me a star, [C#] I can't forget about that first [F#] guitar,
And the [C#] lady who helped me make [G#] it big in this [C#] town of Nashville.
[C] In the year of [G] 43, Mama [C] finished feeding [F] me,
