Verse 1

CI've been walkin' these streets of Nashville

Since I was a little kid

FEither in these Gboots or in my Cdreams

I spent Call I had to buy this Martin

And I've been Amricher since I did

Even Fthough I can't Gafford to change the Cstrings

I've Amheard a lot of "Emno's" and "no Fthank you's"

DmSometimes I wonder Gwhy I'm even Chere

But I Amstill could be an Emovernight senFsation

It wouldDm only take one sympathetic Gear

Chorus

If CMerle would sing my song, AmI could go back home

And tell Feveryone I Gknow that dreams comeC true

I'd be Csomeone in their eyes,

A face that Amthey'd all recognize

I could Fprove to them and me AmI wasn't Dmwrong

If FMerle would sing my Csong

Verse 2

I'll bet I'Cve played this guitar

In every Chonkytonk and bar

FBut as of yet they Ghaven't noticed Cme

But this Cheart and soul of mine

Is filled with Ammemories, chords, and rhymes

And I Fknow that I'm the Gfuture they can't Csee

I could Ammaybe make a Emmillion dollars Fchokin' in a tie

But Dmthen I'd have to Glive with my reCgret

I know AmGod didn't Emgive me all these Fdreams to let 'em die

I'll Dmmake it big, it just hasn't happened Gyet

Chorus

And if CMerle would sing my song, AmI could go back home

And tell Feveryone I Gknow that dreams comeC true

I'd be Csomeone in their eyes,

A face that Amthey'd all recognize

I could Fprove to them and me AmI wasn't Dmwrong

If FMerle would sing my Csong

I could Fprove to them and me AmI wasn't Dmwrong

If FMerle would sing my Csong F C Am
