Nashville Tennessee Acoustic chords by Frank Turner

From the heart of the Southern Downs, to the North-East London reservoirs,
         A               A7        A                 E    E7         A
From the start, the land scaped my sound, before I'd ever been to America.

       D         E               A     E        D
And if I knew anybody who played pedal steel guitar,
        D          E                A          E        D
I'd get them in my band and then my band would get real far,
          D                E                   A         E     D
But I was raised in middle England, and not in Nashville Tennessee,
        D           E             A
And the only person in my band is me.

         A           A7     A          E         E7        A
A simple scale on an old guitar, and a punk rock sense of honesty.
         A              A7   A           E            E7         A
I cannot fail, I've got this far with no knowledge of mid-west geography.

       D         E               A     E        D
And if I knew anybody who played pedal steel guitar,
        D          E                A          E        D
I'd get them in my band and then my band would get real far,
          D                E                   A         E     D
But I was raised in middle England, and not in Nashville Tennessee,
        D           E             A
And the only person in my band is me.

Bm                D         A                   E           Bm
   And yes I'm in four-four time, and yes I use cheap cheap rhymes,
                    D        A
But I try to make a sound my own.
Bm                D         A                    E           Bm
   I know I don't break new ground, many have travelled this sound,
                     D          A
But I try to make it sound like home.

          A                             A
Well I've been to Texas state, I didn't think it was that fucking great,
    D                           E
And Nebraska is just a bunch of songs,
             A                  D
Holloway and Hampshire where I belong.
    D               E              A     E        D
And I don't know anybody who plays pedal steel guitar,
        D              E             A      E     D
All the city roads are twisted and I do not own a car.
      D                E                   A         E     D
I was raised in middle England, and not in Nashville Tennessee,
        D           E             A
And the only person in my band is me.
