Verse 1

G                     C  G
The sign says welcome to Nashville
C                              G
From whatever road you've been down
C
It seems like the first of the milestones
G               D7       G
For here is the city the town

Verse 2

C                          G
It's a quaint old mystical city
C                            G
Where legends and idols have stood
C
It's a place where dreams come to harbor
G               G D7
A country boy's Hollywood

Verse 3

C
But it's lonely at sundown in Nashville
G                                 C
That's when beaten souls start to weep
G
Each evening at sundown in Nashville
D7                               G
They sweep broken dreams off the street

Verse 4

C                        G
You'll walk down 16th to Broadway
C                             G
Into a world of heartache and pain
C
Where hillbilly honky tonk angels
G                D7           G
Cry out from the dark side of fame

Verse 5

C                               G
You'll find some discarded love songs
C                            G
And tear stains all over the ground
C
In a city where dreams get shattered
G                D7           G
And swept to the outskirts of town

Verse 3

C
But it's lonely at sundown in Nashville
G                                 C
That's when beaten souls start to weep
G
Each evening at sundown in Nashville
D7                               G
They sweep broken dreams off the street

Verse 6

D7                           C   G
They sweep broken dreams off the street
