Dolly Parton - Down on music row

^GDown on Music Row ^CDown on music Row ^GIf you want to be a star ^DThat's where you've got to ^Ggo

^GI could feel a change a coming ^CI left my hometown a humming ^GWith my ol' guitar a strumming ^DSongs that I had wrote ^GI was on my way to Nashville ^CI just couldn't hardly wait ^GTill I could sing my songs ^DTo the folks on Music ^GRow

^GI got into Nashville early ^CSleepy, hungry, tired and dirty ^GAnd on the steps of RCA ^DI ate a stale, sweet roll ^GIn the fountain at the hall of fame ^CI washed my face and read the names ^GIn the walkway of the stars ^DDown on Music ^GRow

^GDown on Music Row ^CDown on music Row ^GIf you want to be a star ^DThat's where you've got to ^Ggo

^G#I waited there 'till eight o'clock ^C#When office doors became unlocked ^G#Then I started walking ^D#Down the streets of Music Row ^G#Just a walking up and down the street ^C#Trying to find out who to see ^G#To help me get on record ^D#And to hear the songs I'd ^G#wrote

^G#But I found it going rough ^C#Everyone was all tied up ^G#Either in a conference ^D#Or in the studio ^G#They said that I could leave a tape ^C#But they'd suggest I didn't wait ^G#'Cause everyone was awful busy ^D#Down on Music ^G#Row

^G#But I could feel that change a coming ^C#And I just kept right on a humming ^G#With my ol' guitar still strumming ^D#All them songs that I'd wrote ^G#And then Chet and Bob at RCA ^C#Well, they listened to my songs that day ^G#And they both told me that I was on my way ^D#Down on Music ^G#Row

^GDown on Music Row ^CDown on music Row ^GIf you want to be a star ^DThat's where you've got to ^Ggo
