Chorus:

	 C (x32010@1) G7 (320001@1)  C (x32010@1)Nashville cats, play clean as country water
	 C (x32010@1) G7 (320001@1)  C (x32010@1)Nashville cats, play wild as mountain dew
	 C (x32010@1) G7 (320001@1)  C (x32010@1)Nashville cats, been playin' since they's babies
	 C (x32010@1) G7 (320001@1)  C (x32010@1)Nashville cats, get work before they're two

Verse 1:

	              (C)          G7 (320001@1)Well, there's 1352 guitar pickers in Nashville
	             (G7)
	And they can pick more notes than the number of ants on a (x02210@1)      C (x32010@1)     Tennessee ant hill
	                           F (133211@1)Yeah, there's 1352 guitar cases in Nashville
	       G7 (320001@1)                                           C (x32010@1)And anyone that unpacks his guitar can play twice as better than
	     I will

Verse 2:

	Well, I was just thirteen, you might say I was amusical (x02210@1)	     proverbial knee-high
	When I heard acouple (x02210@1)new-soundin' tunes on the tubes and they
	     blasted me sky-high
	And the record man said every one was ayellow (x02210@1)Sun record from
	     Nashville    [historical note: Sun was in Memphis]
	And up North here ain't nobody buys them, and I said "but I will"

[repeat chorus]

Verse 3:

	Well, there's 16,821 mothers from Nashville
	All their friends play music and they ain't uptight if one of the
	     kids will
	Because it's custom made for any mother's son to be aguitar (x02210@1)picker
	     in Nashville
	And I sure am glad I had the chance to say aword (x02210@1)about the music
	     and the mothers in Nashville

[repeat chorus]

Coda:

	(spoken:) Pick it...
