G D
In a little carabret in a south Texas border town
G
Sat a boy and his guitar and the people came from all around
D
And all the girls from there to Austin
G
were slipping away from home and putting jewelry in hock
D
To take a trip to go and listen to the little dark haired boy
G
who played the Tennesee Flattop Box and he would play........
Guitar

G D
Well he couldn't ride or wrangle and he never cared to make a dime
G
But give him his guitar and he'd be happy all the time
D
And all the girls from Ma to Mama were snapping fingers and tapping toes
G D
and begging him don't stop and hynotised and Fasi-nated
G
by the little dark haired boy who played the Tennesee Flatop Box
and he would play.....
Guitar
G
Then one day he was gone
D
and no one ever saw him round he vanished like the breese
G
and they forgot him in the little town
D
But all the girls still dream about him
G
And hang around the carabret until the doors were locked
D
And then one day on the hit parade was a little dark haired boy
G
who played the Tennesee Flattop Box and he would play....
guitar to fade
