Here is one of the requested songs by Rosanne. These are words and chords only
Tennessee Flat Top Box Rosanne Cash Key of A/D (the turnaround modulates) Key of B/E (if capo'd 2 frets like the record)
intro D / / A / / /
verse1 In a little cabaret in a South Texas border town
Sat a boy and his guitar and the people came from all around () (F#)(b) And all the girls from there to Austin
Were slippin' 'way from home and puttin' jewelry in hock ()(F#) (b) To take the trip, to go and listen
To the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box (A)(B) (b) 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_.
