Chatham County Line - WSM (650)
Capo 4
D
That ole moon is shining bright
G
But it's nothing like the light
D A
On the dial of daddys old RCA
D
Once the family gathered round
G
After the sun went down
A D
Every single tennessee saturday
Ma and pa
Granny too
My sister and her bau
We'd sway and swing
Dance and sing
To the cincitatti 650
Chorus
G D
High lonesome tenor
G A
Fiddle so carefully bowed
D G A
I'd just sit there with a tear in my eye
G A D
Pray one day I'd make it down that road
G D
Daddy won't won't you take us all to nashville
G A
Is there enough money in that ground
D G
For a young mans dream
G A D
To stand before that stage
G A D
That lives in that heaven of a town
G A
WSM 650
D G
Will shield the millions by and by
D A
Country towns to music row
G A D
I'm headin right down back road 49
Times they were slim
No rain to much wind
On the field took its toll
And with winter settling in
And me just past the age of ten
That RCA was traded off on a bin of coal
Now there was no
Chorus
Now years are gone
And granny too
And that house is quite lonley all around
Mama said
There is one thing
Daddy left fore he joined his mother in the ground
She handed down to me
With in a sleeve
20 silver and a note in daddys hand
Said now son
You take this meager sum
Before that opry stage daddy wants you to stand
WSM 650
Will shield the millions by and by
Country towns to music row
I'm headin right down back road 49
WSM 650
I'm headed to where those big stars shine
I'm headin right down back road 49
Yes I'm headed right down back road 49
Yes I'm headed right down back road 49
