In a little cabaret in a South [F#] Texas border town sat a boy and his guitar
And the people came [B] from all around and all the girls
from there [F#] to Austin
Were slipping away from home and putting [B] jewelry in hock to take the trip
to [F#] go and listen
To the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee [B] flat-top box and [C#m] he would play
[G#m] [E]

Well, he couldn't ride a wrangle and he never [F#] cared to make it down but give him his guitar
And he'd be [B] happy all the time and all the girls
from [F#] 9 to 90
Were snapping fingers tapping toes and begging [B] him don't stop and give me time
[F#] and fascinated

Then one day he was gone and no one [F#] ever saw him around he'd vanish like the breeze
They forgot him [B] in the little town, but all the girls
Still [F#] dreamed about him
And hung around the cabaret until [B] the doors were locked and then one day
on [F#] the hit parade
Was a little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee [B] flat-top box and he would play
