[Verse 1]

D7 G C
To the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box. And he would play:

[Verse 2]
G D
Well, he couldn't ride or wrangle, and he never cared to make a dime.
D7 G D
But give him his guitar, and he'd be happy all the time. And all the girls from nine to ninety,
D7 G D
Were snapping fingers, tapping toes, and begging him: "Don't stop." And hypnotized and fascinated
D7 G C
By the little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box. And he would play:

G D
Then one day he was gone, and no one ever saw him 'round,
D7 G D
He'd vanished like the breeze, they forgot him in the little town. But all the girls still dreamed about him.
D7 G D
And hung around the cabaret until the doors were locked. And then one day on the Hit Parade,
D7 G C
Was a little dark-haired boy who played the Tennessee flat top box. And he would play:
