  verse1     In a little cabaret in a South Texas border town
 EA
           Sat a boy and his guitar and the people came from all around
 EF#)(AbAE
           And all the girls from there to Austin
 EA
           Were slippin' 'way from home and puttin' jewelry in hock
 E)(F#AbAE
           To take the trip, to go and listen
 EA
           To the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box
 A)(BDbD
           And he would play
turnaround D / / / A D / / A (repeat)
verse2 Well, he couldn't ride or wrangle, and he never cared to make a dime
But give him his guitar, and he'd be happy all the time
And all the girls from nine to ninety
Were snapping fingers, tapping toes, and begging him don't stop
And hypnotized and fascinated
By the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box
And he would play
turnaround
verse3 Then one day he was gone, and no one ever saw him 'round
He vanished like the breeze, they forgot him in the little town
But all the girls still dreamed about him
And hung around the cabaret until the doors were locked
And then one day on the 'Hit Parade'
Was a little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box
And he would play
turnaround
finis
I'll try to post tab for the turnaround lick next week. I'm new at this.
I have the other Rosanne songs you requested coming. Plus 'Hold On' from
_Rythym and Romance_.
