Capo 1st Fret
tuning is pretty iffy. Could never quite get it. Standard tuning if your not playing 
with the song sounds great though.

A                                      E
In a little cabaret in a South Texas border town,
                                                          A
Sat a boy and his guitar, and the people came from all around.
                                  E
And all the girls from there to Austin,
                                                       A
Were slippin' away from home and puttin' jewelery in hock.
                              E
To take the trip, to go and listen,
                                                                 A
To the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box.

               D
And he would play:            A

 A                                                                E
Well, he couldn't ride or wrangle and he never cared to make a dime
                                                     A
But give him his guitar, and he'd be happy all the time.
                                 E
And all the girls from nine to ninety,
                                                             A
Were snapping fingers, tapping toes, and begging him: "Don't stop."
                       E
And hypnotized and fascinated,
                                                                 A
By the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box.

        D               A
And he would play: [Repeat solo)

 A                                                   E
Then one day he was gone, and no one ever saw him 'round,
                                                              A
He'd vanished like the breeze, they forgot him in the little town.
                                       E
But all the girls still dreamed about him.
                                                    A
And hung around the cabaret until the doors were locked.
                              E
And then one day on the Hit Parade,
                                                                A
Was a little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box.


               D        A
And he would play: [Repeat Solo)
