Capo: 1st Fret 
 
Intro: C  Am  G  F (2x) 
 
   C			Am 
I traded a '57 Chevy for my first guitar 
   G				F 
Daddy said I was crazy, cuz that was a hell of a car 
   C				Am 
When I played Love Me Tender, on that Fender 
   G					F 
And the music came pouring out of my hands and heart 
 
 
   Am			      Em 
He knew it was worth it, and so did I 
   F			    G 
Cuz sometimes some things don't have a price 
 
 
  C			      Am 
So I learned to play all my heroes songs 
  G					F 
And I finally got around to writing a few of my own 
  C			Am 
The songs got better, I put a band together 
  G			     F 
And we played our first gig at a little club in McComb 
 
 
  Am				Em 
When I walked on stage and opened my mouth 
  F			   G 
I started to sing and you came pouring out
