West Nashville Grand Ballroom Gown Chords

(ver. 2)
Jimmy Buffett
[intro]

C  F  G  C  
C  F  G  C
  
C               F           G         C
Standing on the side of the Highway 4 exit         
          F          G          C
A lady in tie-dye, a bag by her side  
           F            G        C
Not really looking like anything special    
              F            G           C
Saw Tennessee tags and she waved for a ride

            F              G         C
Sat right beside me as the meter hit sixty
               F               G          C
Explaining her travels and her family background
             F                G            C
When she got through, I could not help but thinking
                          F              G              C
She's a long way from the West Nashville Grand Ballroom gown

G                            D          G
Her father had money and her mother had love
                          D           G
Channeled entirely to her dear sister Dove   
                      D       G                 
Twenty-two years in society's plan      
                                  F             D                         
Was cancelled with a swing of her dear mother's hand
 
C         F         G         C   
Six hours later, we hit Cincinnati 
            F             G              C
Yawning she woke and then asked where we were
               F               G         C
When she found out, she said, "I must be going"
              F             G             C
This close to Nashville was too close for her

   F  G  C

                    F              G             C
So I stopped by the roadside and I gave her five dollars
                 F             G         C
She took it then kissed me and gave me a note
                    F            G          C
She told me just to read it then mail it in Nashville
                 F            G          C
On old looseleaf paper to her mother she wrote

           G                      D         G
She said, "Mama, I'm fine, if you happen to wonder
                              D          G
I don't have much money but I still get around
                              D          G
I haven't made church in near thirty-six Sundays
                                 D              D
So f**k all those West Nashville Grand Ballroom gowns"

   C  F  G  C   

                                F              G              C
Yeah, she's a long way from the West Nashville Grand Ballroom gown
