Ab                 Ebm              Dbm7    F#  Ab
James' in his room trying to find a song of his own
Ab                      Ebm
Playing the same chords all day long
Dbm               F#       Ab
But he can't quite write it alone
Ab                         Ebm
But something changed that evening
     Dbm7 F#    Ab
When he saw Natalie
    Ab                         Ebm
But that's when it came oh so easy

    Dbm               F#
And that came this melody


Ab F#9 B Bbm

Ab                         Ebm
James was set to play from seven tonight
   Dbm              F#      Ab
At Main Street that Tuesday night
Ab
Looking out trough the crowd
   Ebm            Dbm           F#  Ab
He found the song sitting there all alone
Ab                         Ebm
His mind went blank as she smiled
       Dbm       F#  Ab
It was James she was fantasy
Ab                     Ebm
He couldn't remember a single word

Dbm                   F#  Ab
But he still knew her melody

Ab F#9 B Bbm

Ab                          Ebm
Over the mountain where the leaves stay green
   Dbm      F#        Ab
Is where he wanted to be
          Ab                Ebm
She had a root deep down in Tennessee
     Dbm              Ebm      Ab
Lord knows she wasn't going to leave

Bridge pt1:

           Ab              Ebm
Looks like life ain't that easy
   Dbm  F#               Ab
As they thought it would be
    Ab                       Ebm
But that's when they'd learn eventually

Bridge pt2:
     E                  F#
That over the mountains or in Tennessee
E                     F#
On a desert island or if it in Italy

Bridge pt3:
E                     F#
When they're together they got just what they need

Ab F#9 B Bbm

Ab                      Ebm
Over the mountains they built there home
    Dbm          F#      Ab
And even had one in Tennessee
         Ab                               Ebm
You see, James hit the big time with that song he wrote
  Dbm         F#     Ab
A song called "Natalie"
   Ab                                  Ebm
He plays it every night can't help but smile
         Dbm            F#   Ab
When the crowd sings her melody
Ab                    Ebm       Dbm         F#   Ab
They may not know the story but James has a memory
