C The moon on the Cumberland River G C Went down In a cold bloody red G And you lay beside me and trembled D Like I don?t belong in your bed C It?s just like that night on Old Hickory G C And the motel way out on west end G You tried but your heart was in it D G Now you?re fighting against it again Chorus : C And the battle of Nashville is raging G D There?s a troubling deep in my soul C G Here?s my swan song for music city D G Cause my forces are out of control C I have hope against hope that you love me G C And my heart won?t give up the fight G So the battle of Nashville continues D G And I pray you?ll you?re surrender tonight Solo: C Many times I?ve regrouped my emotions G C And smiles through the struggles and pain G And make believe I?m all together D Just like I?m doing again G But my little defeats keep on coming C G Cause you keep on holding the line C G I?m loosing ground with you daily D G And it?s just a matter of time Chorus : C And the battle of Nashville is raging G D There?s a troubling deep in my soul C G Here?s my swan song for music city D G Cause my forces are out of control C I have hope against hope that you love me G C And my heart won?t give up the fight G So the battle of Nashville continues D G And I pray you?ll you?re surrender tonight
