If Merle Would Sing My Song

CAPO 1 Tabbed By: Emrldeyzs INTRO 2x VERSE 1: I've been walkin' these streets of Nashville Since I was a little kid Either in these boots or in my dreams I spent all I had to buy this Martin And I've been richer since I did Even though I can't afford to change the strings I've heard a lot of "no's" and "no thank you's" Sometimes I wonder why I'm even here But I still could be an overnight sensation It would only take one sympathetic ear CHORUS: If Merle would sing my song, I could go back home And tell everyone I know that dreams come true I'd be someone in their eyes, A face that they'd all recognize I could prove to them and me I wasn't wrong If Merle would sing my song VERSE 2: I'll bet I've played this guitar In every honkytonk and bar But as of yet they haven't noticed me But this heart and soul of mine Is filled with memories, chords, and rhymes And I know that I'm the future they can't see I could maybe make a million dollars chokin' in a tie But then I'd have to live with my regret I know God didn't give me all these dreams to let 'em die I'll make it big, it just hasn't happened yet CHORUS: And if Merle would sing my song, I could go back home And tell everyone I know that dreams come true I'd be someone in their eyes, A face that they'd all recognize I could prove to them and me I wasn't wrong If Merle would sing my song I could prove to them and me I wasn't wrong If Merle would sing my song MERLE: He's been walkin' them streets of Nashville Since he was a little kid -FADE Either in his boots or in his dreams
