Chord/Tab song: If Merle Would Sing My Song

CAPO 1

INTRO C F C Am 2x

VERSE 1:

[C]I've been walkin' these streets of Nashville
Since I was a little kid
[F]Either in these [G]boots or in my [C]dreams
I spent [C]all I had to buy this Martin
And I've been [Am]richer since I did
Even [F]though I can't [G]afford to change the [C]strings
I've [Am]heard a lot of "[Em]no's" and "no [F]thank you's"
[Dm]Sometimes I wonder [G]why I'm even [C]here
But I [Am]still could be an [Em]overnight sen[F]sation
It would[Dm] only take one sympathetic [G]ear

CHORUS:

If [C]Merle would sing my song, [Am]I could go back home
And tell [F]everyone I [G]know that dreams come[C] true
I'd be [C]someone in their eyes,
A face that [Am]they'd all recognize
I could [F]prove to them and me [Am]I wasn't [Dm]wrong
If [F]Merle would sing my [C]song

VERSE 2:
I'll bet I'[C]ve played this guitar
In every [C]honkytonk and bar
[F]But as of yet they [G]haven't noticed [C]me
But this [C]heart and soul of mine
Is filled with [Am]memories, chords, and rhymes
And I [F]know that I'm the [G]future they can't [C]see
I could [Am]maybe make a [Em]million dollars [F]chokin' in a tie
But [Dm]then I'd have to [G]live with my re[C]gret
I know [Am]God didn't [Em]give me all these [F]dreams to let 'em die
I'll [Dm]make it big, it just hasn't happened [G]yet

CHORUS:
And if [C]Merle would sing my song, [Am]I could go back home
And tell [F]everyone I [G]know that dreams come[C] true
I'd be [C]someone in their eyes,
A face that [Am]they'd all recognize
I could [F]prove to them and me [Am]I wasn't [Dm]wrong
If [F]Merle would sing my [C]song
I could [F]prove to them and me [Am]I wasn't [Dm]wrong
If [F]Merle would sing my [C]song[F][C][Am]

MERLE:
He's been [C]walkin' them streets of Nashville
Since he was a little kid
[F]Either in his [G]boots or in his [C]dreams[C][-FADE]
