To the D7little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top bGox. And he would Cplay:

[Verse 2]
Well, he Gcouldn't ride or wrangle, and he never cared to make a Ddime.
But D7give him his guitar, and he'd be happy aGll the time. And all the girls from nine toD ninety,
Were sD7napping fingers, tapping toes, and begging him: "Don't Gstop." And hypnotized and fasciDnated
By the D7little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top Gbox. And he would Cplay:

He'd D7vanished like the breeze, they forgot him in the lGittle town. But all the girls still dreamed aDbout him.
And D7hung around the cabaret until the doors were Glocked. And then one day on the Hit PaDrade,
Was a D7little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top Gbox. And he would Cplay:
