Chords for Tennessee flat top box - Rosanne Cash - live 1990

_ [G#] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] This is a song my father wrote when I was three years old [G] and I recorded it 30 years later.
So for all you hardcore country fans, this is Tennessee Flat Top Box.
_ [A] _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ [E] _ _ [B] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ In a little cabaret in a South Texas [F#] border town sat a boy and his guitar and the people
[B] came from all around and all the girls from [F#] there to Austin [C#] were slipping away from home
and putting jewelry in hot [A#] to [B] take you to go [F#] and listen to the little dark haired boy
who played in [C#] Tennessee Flat Top Box [D#] and he [E] would play. _ _ _

_ Well he couldn't ride a wrangle and he never cared [F#] to make a dime but give him his guitar
and he'd be happy [B] all the time.
And all the girls from nine [F#] to ninety were snapping fingers, tapping toes and begging
him don't [G#] stop and [B] _ hypnotized and [F#] fascinated _ by the little dark haired boy who played the
Tennessee Flat Top [C#] Box and [E] he would play. _ _ _ _

_ [C#] _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _
And then one day he was gone and no one ever [F#] saw him around.
He'd vanish like the breeze and they forgot him [B] in the little town but all the girls still
[F#] dreamed about him _ and hung around the cabaret until the doors were locked [A#] and then [B] one day
_ on the hit [F#]
parade was a little dark haired boy who played the Tennessee [C#] Flat Top Box
[D#] and he [E] would play. _ _ _ _
