Tennessee Flat Top Box Chords by Rosanne Cash

[Eb] _ [D] _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ In a little cabaret in a South [F] Texas border town sat a boy and his guitar
And the people came [Bb] from all around and all the girls from [F] there to Austin
Were slipping away from home and putting jewelry [Bb] in hot to take the trip to go [F] and listen

_ he couldn't write or wrangle and he never cared [F] to make it down but to give him his guitar
And he'd be happy [Bb] all the time and all the girls from nine [F] to ninety
Were snapping fingers, tapping toes and begging [Bb] him don't stop and _ hypnotized and [F] fascinated
_ By the little dark haired boy who played the Tennessee [Bb] Flattop [Eb] Fox and he would play _ _ _ _

Then one day he was gone and no one [F] ever saw him around he'd vanished like the breeze
They forgot him [Bb] in the little town but all the girls still [F] dreamed about him
And hung around the cabaret until the [Bb] doors were locked and then one day on the hit [F] parade
Was a little dark haired boy who played the Tennessee [Bb] Flattop [Eb] Fox and he would play _ _ _ _
