Near Tennessee, I met a guy who played 12-string guitar.
Ab Db   Ab    Dbm           A      Abm       Dbm
He also had a mighty voice, not to mention a car.
     E                 Dbm
Each time he hit those bluegrass chords, you sure smelled

A  D               Dm                  Bb      F
In New Orleans, we saw a gal a-walkin' with no shoes.
Am  Dm                                       Bb       Dm
And from her throat there comes a growl, she sure was singin'
the blues.
    F            Dm                      Bb    F
She sang for all humanity, this gal with raven hair.
                     Dm             Bb      Am
I said, it's for the world to hear, Come to Washington

We  cannonballed into New York on good old US 1.
Bb     Ebm                      B        Ebm
Til up ahead we saw the arch, a-gleamin' bright in the sun.
   Gb             Ebm                         B          Gb
As far as all the eye could see, ten thousand folks were there.
    Gb               Ebm  Gb   B        Bbm        Ebm
And singing in sweet harm-ony, right in Washington Square.
