Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E) Key: A Difficulty: Novice Intro: A Verse 1: A Hell he rode into Nashville to try his luck A Just a beat up Chevy, and twenty five bucks D You know he had those dreams about makin' it big A
And he wasn't goin' to settle for just any gig E Big red letters on the back of his car C A It said Jerry Fontaine and his jammin' guitar Verse 2: A Tried CBS, RCA, all them other letters A But they turned him away D Tried to get him a job down at The Tootsie's Bar A But they mashed him out the door with his jammin' guitar E Grand Ole Opry, story was the same C He said one day you'll be beggin' for Jerry Fontaine Chorus 1: D Go Jerry go, don't let 'em steal your dream A One day you'll be ridin' in the big limousine C All the little girls will be a-screamin' your name D Throwin' little kisses at Jerry Fontaine Instrumental: A D A E A Verse 3: A He had hair like Elvis, a voice like Jerry Lee A Heart full of songs baby, just like me D Musta got discouraged, given it up A 'Cause he left that ol' guitar in this hock shop E When I bought it I got more than I bargained for C Jerry left his dream in his jammin' guitar Chorus 2: D Go Jerry go, wherever you are A Takin' good care of his jammin' guitar E We may never make it, fortune and fame C But this is for me and Jerry Fontaine Instrumental: D A E A Chorus 3: D Go Jerry go, wish you could see A All the little girls throwin' kisses at me E We may never make it, fortune and fame C But this one's for me and Mr. Jerry Fontaine D A This one's for me and Jerry Fontaine
