Nashville Cats:The Lovin' Spoonful. 
#8 in '66. 

Chorus: 
G   D7    G 
Nashville Cats, play clean as country water. 
G   D7    G 
Nashville Cats, play wild as mountain dew. 
G   D7    G 
Nashville Cats, been playin' since they's babies. 
G   D7    G 
Nashville Cats, get work before they're two. 

#1. 
              G               
Well, there's thirteen hundred and fifty-two 
       D7 
guitar pickers in Nashville. 
             D7 
And they can pick more notes than the number of ants 
     G 
on a Tennessee anthill. 
                       
Yeah, there's thirteen hundred and fifty-two 
       C 
guitar cases in Nashville. 
       D7 
And anyone that unpacks his guitar will play... 
                     G 
twice as better than I will. 

#2. 
G 
Yeah, I was just thirteen, you might say I was a 
                   D7 
musical proverbial knee-high. 

When I heard a couple new sounding tunes on the tubes 
         C          G 
and they blasted me sky high. 
G 
And the record man said 'Every one is a Yellow Sun 
C 
Record from Nashville. 
       D7 
And up North there ain't nobody buys them,' and I said,  
     G 
'But I will.' And it was... 

Chorus: 

#3. 
G 
Well, there's sixteen thousand eight hundred twenty-one 
D7 
mothers from Nashville. 

All their friends play music, and they ain't uptight 
   G 
if one of the kids will. 
G 
Because it's custom made for any mother's son 
        C 
to be a guitar picker in Nashville. 
      D7 
And I sure am glad I got a chance to say a word about 
                               G 
the music and the mothers from Nashville. 

And it was... 

Chorus: 
        G               C G D7 G C G C G 
Pick it... 


A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
