G C G
It was winter time in Nashville, down on music city row
D
And I was lookin' for a place to get myself out of the cold
C D G Em
To warm the frozen feelin' that was eatin' at my soul
C D
And keep the chilly wind off my guitar
G C G
My thirsty wanted whisky, my hungry needed beans
G D
But it'd been of month of paydays since I've heard that eagle scream
C D G Em
So with my stomach full of empty and a pocket full of dreams
C D G
I left my pride and stepped inside a bar
Em
Actually I guess you could call it a Tavern
C Am D
Cigarette smoke to the ceiling and sawdust on the floor
G
Friendly shadows
C G
I saw that there was just one old man sittin' at the bar
D
And in the mirror I could see him checkin' me and my guitar
C D G Em
He turned and said "Come up here boy and show us what you are"
C D
I said "I'm dry" and he brought me a beer
G C G
He nodded at my guitar and said "It's a tough life, ain't it"
D
I just looked at him, and he said "You ain't makin' any money, are ya?"
C D G
I said "You've been readin' my mail". He just smiled and said
Em C G
Let me see your guitar, I've got something you want to hear.
G C
If you waste your time a talkin' to the people who don't listen
