Nashville Man chords by Lula Wiles

Chorus:
D                                                                A
I'm pounding the pavement waiting on a stationery letter from a Nashville man
A                                                 D
It's the waiting that I'm running from as fast as I can
D                                                           A
And when I'm breathing too hard to think, well that's how I like it
A                                                      D
9 to 5 running from my thoughts before I take on the night shift



Verse 1:
G                                                                     D
I'm getting ready for the bad news, looking good and hoping for some good luck
E                                  A                           D
Praying for a waking hour where a package or a flower's gonna show up
G                                                                D
And when the night falls, baby, I'll be drinking a glass feeling lonesome
E                                  A                        D
The gentleman who bought it's real nice, but I don't wanna hold him

Chorus:
D                                                                       A
'Cause I'm pounding the pavement waiting on a stationery letter from a Nashville man
A                                                  D
It's the waiting that I'm running from as fast as I can


Verse 2:
G                                                                D
I'm getting pictures in the mailbox, surfers, models, high-tops, and sweet deals
E                            A                           D
No messages, no packages, no postcards telling me how he feels
G                                                         D
And what could be better than the Tennessee weather and a man alone
              E                           A                          D
How 'bout the two of us together, we can talk without a letter or a telephone



Chorus:
D                                                                A
I'm pounding the pavement waiting on a stationery letter from a Nashville man
A                                                 D
It's the waiting that I'm running from as fast as I can
D                                                                A
I'm pounding the pavement waiting on a stationery letter from a Nashville man
A                                                 D
It's the waiting that I'm running from as fast as I can



Outro:
D                                                                A
I'm pounding the pavement waiting on a stationery letter from a Nashville man
A                                              D
And I'm losing all hope in the US post and my Nashville man
A                                              D
I'm losing all hope and I've waited as long as I can
