(Note: The chord chart I have is in E flat. I am using the small letter "b" to denote

flats with the capital letters as chords. The small "m" means minor, and the "M" is

major. Hope this is not confusing. Enjoy! JAM)

(verse 1)

KAY WITH ALL YOUR SINGING TALENT BACK IN HOUSTON

NASHVILLE'S ALL YOU TALKED ABOUT

I SOLD EVERYTHING I OWNED TO BRING YOU HERE

NOW YOU'LL BE FAMOUS, THERE'S NO DOUBT

LAST NIGHT YOU KNOCKED EM' OUT IN NEW YORK

TONIGHT CHICAGO'S GOING WILD

G7Cm

KAY YOUR NEW RECORD ON THE JUKEBOX DON'T SOUND BAD

KAY I'M LIVING YET I'M DYING STARING OUT

AT MUSIC CITY FROM MY CAB

(verse 2)

CAUTION LIGHTS BLINK OUT THEIR WARNING

SOME OLD BIG BEN CLOCK CHIMES 3 A. M.

STARVIN HOUND DOGS SEARCH THE TRASH CANS

MY GAS TANK COULD STAND A DOLLER'S WORTH AGAIN

ALL THOSE CHUCK-HOLES HERE ON MAIN ST

JAR MY RIB CAGE I COULD CUSS

KAY THE CROWD OF NIGHT LIFE PEOPLE LOOK SO SAD

KAY I'M LIVING YET IM DYING STARING OUT

AT MUSIC CITY FROM MY CAB.

(verse 3)

TWO YOUNG SOLDIERS FROM FT. CAMPBELL

TOLD ME HOW THEY HATE THAT WAR IN VIET NAM

SIRENS ECHOED THRU AN ALLEY AND SOME WOMAN

SAID SOME FELLOW STABBED A MAN.

I RUSHED MISS TEENAGE TO A DR.

SHE BEGGED TO GIVE THE CHILD MY NAME

I'VE LOST COUNT OF CUPS OF COFFEE THAT I'VE HAD

KAY I'M LIVING YET I'M DYING

STARING OUT AT MUSIC CITY FROM MY CAB.

(BRIDGE)

GUITARS, ORGANS, HORNS, VIOLINS, AND PIANOS

HOW THEY PLAY

BbEb

GRINDING OUT THE LATEST SOUNDS FROM MUSIC CITY U.S.A.

KAY ALTHO' I KNOW I'VE LOST YOU

TO THE SWINGING MUSIC WORLD

I KISS THE PICTURES OF THE HAPPY TIMES WE'VE HAD

AbM EbAb

KAY I'M LIVING, YET I'M DYING STARING OUT

AT MUSIC CITY FROM MY CAB

(verse 4)

THREE ROSE PETALS ON MY FRONT SEAT

FALLEN FROM THE BOUQUET JIMMY TOOK TO JUNE

JIM KEPT MUMBLING THROUGH HIS TEARDROPS

GOD SHE'LL LEAVE THIS WORLD WITH FLOWERS IN HER ROOM

KAY I SHOWED SOME DRUNK YOUR PICTURE

AND HE MADE SOME SMART REMARK

SO I HIT HIM IN THE MOUTH

BOY WAS I MAD

KAY I'M LIVING YET I'M DYING STARING OUT

AT MUSIC FROM MY CAB

(Repeat BRIDGE)
