Mama Nashville
Tuning:E A D G B E

Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
G
My fans up in Whitefish say I gotta settle down somewhere
D C G
This roaming and rambling won't get me anywhere
G
Everybody’s screaming Nashville, that's where the stars are made
D C G
So I picked up my guitar and I headed Nashville way
[Verse 2]
G
So I went down to Second Ave and got myself a gig
D C G
With 37 other singers also on the bill
G
I tell you all them locals they long since moved away
D C G
My crowd was just the other singers waiting to get on stage
[Chorus]
G C
Goodbye, I don't need you, and Lord knows you don’t need me
G D C G
Goodbye, Mama Nashville, you got too many mouths to feed
[Verse 3]
G
They told me not to go down there and sing my originals
D C G
They said some Nashville country singer will steal my melodies and my words
G
If they wanna find some fortune, they better rob somebody else
D C G
I barely have the balls to sing these songs myself
[Chorus]
G C
Goodbye, I don't need you, and Lord knows you don’t need me
G D C G
Goodbye, Mama Nashville, you got too many mouths to feed
[Verse 4]
G
So I lit down to Shreveport as fast as I could
D C G
I love the way they talk there and them women treat me good
G
They said reincarnation is happening in that town
D C G
The lawyers come back as mosquitoes or is it the other way around
[Chorus]
G C
Goodbye, I don't need you, and Lord knows you don’t need me
G D C G
Goodbye, Mama Nashville, you got too many mouths to feed
