 NASHVILLE (Amy Ray)
 
 {sot}
 -------------------
 {eot}
 [Actually in B; capo 2.]
 [In the instrumental parts, futz around with the chords. The A sounds good
 with an Asus4 in the middle of the measure, and the E probably has an Esus4
 in the middle. ALL of the D's are actually mixtures of D's and D(9)'s,
 probably with more D(9) than D.]
 
 [A][int[E]ro][D][D][A][E][D][D]
 
 As I [A]drive from your[E] pearly gates
 I real[D]ize that I [D]just can't stay
 All those mo[A]untains, they kept you[E] locked inside
 And hid the[D] truth from m[D]y slighted eyes
 [E] I came to you with a h[E]alf-open heart
 [D]Dreams upon my back, ill[D]usions of a brand new start
 
 Nas[A]hville, can't I [E]carry the load?
 Is it m[D]y fault I can't [D]reap what I sow?
 Nas[A]hville, did you give me[E] half a chance
 With your so[D]uthern style, and your[D] hidden dance aw[A]ay
 Dance a[E]way, now you dance aw[D]ay[D]
 
 All those voices, they whisper through my walls
 They talk of falling fast, they say I'm losing it all
 They say I'm running blind to a love of my own
 But I'll be walking proud I'm saving what I still own
 I fell on my knees to kiss your land
 But you are so far down, and I can't even see to stand
 
 Nashville, you forgot the human race
 You see with half a mind what colors hide the face
 Nashville, I'd like to know your fate
 I'd like to stay a while but I've seen your lowered state today
 I've seen them today, honey I swear I've seen 'em today
 
 [A][ins[E]trum[D]enta[D]l][A][E][D][D]
 
 Now I'm leaving, I've got all these debts to pay
 You know we all have our dues, I'll pay in some other place
 I'd never ask that you pay me back
 We all arrive with more, I left with less than I had
 Your town is made for people passing through
 A last chance for a cause I thought I knew
 
 But Nashville, you tell me what you are gonna do
 With all your Southern style, it'll never pull you through
 Nashville, I can't place no blame
 But if you forget my face, I'll never call your name again
 No, never again, no, never, never again
 
 E [hold] E [held]
 I fell on my knees to kiss your land
 n.c. n.c.
 But you are so far down, and I can't even see to stand
 
 And Nashville, you forgot the human race
 You see with half a mind what colors hide the face
 Nashville, I'd like to know your fate
 I'd like to stay a while but I've seen your lowered state today
 I've seen 'em today, honey, I swear I've seen 'em today
 I'm running away, I'm running away, I'm running, I'm running, I'm running away
