G Em
The karaoke queen of Tyler Texas
C D
Outgrew her little pond
G
She packed up her car took the
Em
Church Street exit
C D
On half a tank of broken songs
C D
Hit the ground runnin' on Broadway
G
While she's waiting
Em
on her dream to come true
C
Someone's gotta tend the bars,
D
Someone's gotta sell the boots
G G
In the City of Music
[Verse 2]

Learnin' how to play guitar

He bought a ring for

his high-school girlfriend

Right before she broke his heart

Now she's gettin' married to his

ex-best friend
G Em
Now there's only one thing to do
C
'Cause you can make a million dollars
D
Just by singin' the blues
G
In the City of Music
[Chorus]
C D
Tell the truth, play some chords
G Em
Pay your dues and praise the Lord

So, she sold him some boots on Friday
C D
And he wore 'em on their date that night
G Em
They sat around singin' George and Tammy
C D
Woke up in a co-write
C D
Maybe it'll last forever,
G Em
Maybe only a week or two
C
Sometimes you write the songs
D
And sometimes the songs write you
[Chorus]
C D
Tell the truth, play some chords
G Em
Pay your dues and praise the Lord

Sing it for the ghosts that

And play till your fingers hurt

Leave something that'll

In the rafters of the Mother Church
[Chorus]

Tell the truth, play some chords

Pay your dues and praise the Lord

I am a pilgrim in this land
