Tennessee Flat Top Box Chords

[Verse 1]
G                                           D
In a little cabaret in a South Texas border town,                                                             
                          G
                           G
Sat a boy and his guitar, and the people came from miles around.
         D
And all the girls from there to Austin,
G                                 D
Were slipping away from home and putting jewelery in hock.
 G
To take the trip, to go and listen,
        D                         G                         D
To the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box.
 G
And he would play      SOLO
 
[Verse 2]
 G                                              D
Well, he couldn't ride or wrangle, and he never cared to make a dime.
                         G
But give him his guitar, and he'd be happy all the time.
        D                          G
And all the girls from nine to ninety,
                                D                               G
Were snapping fingers, tapping toes, and begging him: "Don't stop.
                D
And hypnotized and fascinated,
                G                               D
By the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box.
 G
And he would play     SOLO
 
[Verse 3]
   G                                            D
Then one day he was gone, and no one ever saw him 'round,
                        G
He'd vanished like the breeze, they forgot him in the little town.
         D                        G
But all the girls still dreamed about him.
                                D
And hung around the cabaret until the doors were locked.
       G                        D
And then one day on the Hit Parade,
                   G                            D
Was a little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box.
 G
And he would play.    SOLO
