I`ve been-- chasin` the big wheels
G         D
 All over Nashville
                            A
Waitin` for my big break to come
          D
Livin` on ketchup soup, homemade
G             D
 Crackers and KoolAid
I`ll be a star tomorrow, but today
      A7        D
I`m a Nashville bum
       G
I look good in cowboy clothes
      D
And I sing through my nose
                                     A
Webb said "That`s the way to get `er done"
  D
I smoke good old PA
         G                D
Like the Opry stars, they say
I`ll be a star tomorrow, but today
      A7        D
I`m a Nashville bum

Well, a friend of a friend of mine
     A               E
Is a friend of art divines
                                  B
And he finally got me on the Opry show
  E
I walked out like a star
            A         E
Tripped and busted my guitar
I`ll be a star tomorrow, but today
      B7        E
I`m a Nashville bum
          A
Well now, here`s a song I wrote
     E
By myself, note for note
                                     B
With a lot of help, if I make Number One
        E
You can change a word or two
              A             E
And I`ll give half of it to you
I`ll be a star tomorrow, but today
      B7        E
I`m a Nashville bum
Yes, I`ll be a star tomorrow, but today
      B7        E
I`m a Nashville bum
