# NASHVILLE (Amy Ray) ------------------- [Actually in B; capo 2.] [In the instrumental parts, futz around with the chords. The A sounds good with an Asus4 in the middle of the measure, and the E probably has an Esus4 in the middle. ALL of the D's are actually mixtures of D's and D(9)'s, probably with more D(9) than D.]
A[intEro] D D A E D D As I Adrive from yourE pearly gates I realDize that I Djust can't stay All those moAuntains, they kept youE locked inside And hid theD truth from mDy slighted eyes E I came to you with a hEalf-open heart DDreams upon my back, illDusions of a brand new start
NasAhville, can't I Ecarry the load? Is it mDy fault I can't Dreap what I sow? NasAhville, did you give meE half a chance With your soDuthern style, and yourD hidden dance awAay Dance aEway, now you dance awDay D
All those voices, they whisper through my walls They talk of falling fast, they say I'm losing it all They say I'm running blind to a love of my own But I'll be walking proud I'm saving what I still own I fell on my knees to kiss your land But you are so far down, and I can't even see to stand Nashville, you forgot the human race You see with half a mind what colors hide the face Nashville, I'd like to know your fate I'd like to stay a while but I've seen your lowered state today I've seen them today, honey I swear I've seen 'em today
A[insEtrumDentaDl] A E D D Now I'm leaving, I've got all these debts to pay You know we all have our dues, I'll pay in some other place I'd never ask that you pay me back We all arrive with more, I left with less than I had Your town is made for people passing through A last chance for a cause I thought I knew
But Nashville, you tell me what you are gonna do With all your Southern style, it'll never pull you through Nashville, I can't place no blame But if you forget my face, I'll never call your name again No, never again, no, never, never again E [hold] E [held] I fell on my knees to kiss your land n.C. n.C. But you are so far down, and I can't even see to stand And Nashville, you forgot the human race You see with half a mind what colors hide the face Nashville, I'd like to know your fate I'd like to stay a while but I've seen your lowered state today I've seen 'em today, honey, I swear I've seen 'em today I'm running away, I'm running away, I'm running, I'm running, I'm running away - Adam Schneider, schneider@pobox.com
