"Nashville Cats"
(John Sebastian)

Chorus:

C G7 C
Nashville cats, play clean as country water
C G7 C
Nashville cats, play wild as mountain dew
C G7 C
Nashville cats, been playin' since they's babies
C G7 C
Nashville cats, get work before they're two...

Verse 1:

(C) G7
Well, there's 1352 guitar pickers in Nashville
(G7)
And they can pick more notes than the number of ants on a
C
Tennessee ant hill
F
Yeah, there's 1352 guitar cases in Nashville
G7 C
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 a musical proverbial knee-high

When I heard a couple new-soundin' tunes on the tubes and they blasted me sky-high

And the record man said every one was a yellow Sun record from Nashville 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 a guitar picker in Nashville

And I sure am glad I had the chance to say a word about the music and the mothers in Nashville

[repeat chorus]
