ADA
I say how could this be
AD
Left her back in Tennessee
AD
There's a thousand miles between
ADA
I'm going out of my head
AD
But I can't take back the words I said
ADA
Just to fill her empty bed
D
Said you can drag me back to Nashville
EAD x4
But you'll drag me back to Nashville dead
ADAD
She wanted nothing more in her life
AD
Than to see her name in lights
AD
So I came along for the ride
ADAD
But there was just no end
AD
Smokey bars and unpaid rent
ADA
Day job blues held by a thread
D
Oh you can drag me back to Nashville
EAD
But you'll drag me back to Nashville dead
Chorus:
F#m
North Dakota boy in Tennessee
DAE
That singin' town had got the best of me, oh yeah
F#m
And I lost my love to the dream
DE
Looking back I lost a part of me, and so I said
D
You can drag me back to Nashville
EADA
But you'll drag me back to Nashville dead
Instrumental: F#mDAEF#mDE
then... AD (x4)
ADA
I say how could this be
REPEAT ChorusD
Oh you can drag me back to Nashville
EADAD
But you'll drag me back to Nashville dead
ADAD
North Dakota boy in Tennessee
ADAD
I say how could this be
ADAD
North Dakota boy in Tennessee
