The day I came to Hollywood,
                                   G
 I got off the bus, just me an' my guitar.
  A
 My hair was all jacked-up for Jesus,
                   D
 It got real quiet when I walked in that bar.

 Some mean old guy just walked on by,
                                           G
 With a devil tattoo and an' erring in his nose.

G (2 BARS)

A
 Well, I tried to introduce myself,
                                 D
 But no-one took the time to say hello.

D A


 A    D
 So I pulled out my guitar,
                                    G
 An' I launched into a Dolly Parton song.

G (2 BARS)

     A
 An' before I knew it,
                                    D
 Coats of many colors began to sing along

A.
       D
 And it wasn't one of them lyin', cryin', cheatin', dyin',
                        G
 Somebody-done-somebody-wrong songs.
G          A
 It was an absolutely finger lickin', grits & chicken,
               D
 Country music love song.

       D
 Now I realized this city life,
                                         G
 Musta taken a toll on all them lonesome souls.

G

A
 An' I couldn't help wonder what would make a guy,
                    Dm
 Wanna wear women's clothes.

 When finally, a real man sat next to me,
     D              G
 An' ordered a Tequila.

          A
 When, he turned an' smiled an' shook my hand,
                                     D
 An' said: "Hi there, my name is Sheila."

 He said: "I heard you from across the room.
                                          G
 "Is that what they call a mountain music song?"

 He said: "I must admit, I laughed at first,
                                D
 "Then I found myself singin' along."

 Well, I had a ball, I liked them all,
                                   Bm
 But I could never call this place my home.

 An' as my bus rode past that bar,
                                  A
 I swore I could hear 'em singin' on.
