[Verse]
D Em G
Where can you go to see the country music stars?
D A D
That’s what we come to Nashville for.
Em G
No one comes around to play the pinball machines
D A D D7
Nobody eats at Linebaugh’s anymore.
[Chorus]
G D
Now the Opry’s gone and the streets are bare.
A D
Ernest Tubb’s record shop is dark.
Em G
And the drunks are gone from the Merchant’s Hotel
Em A
Everybody’s gone to the park.
A D E G D A D D E G D A D
D Em G
Where can you go to see the country music stars,
D A D
sittin drinkin’ coffee ‘til four?
D Em G
Shoney’s closed at nine o’clock; there’s nothing left to do.
D A D
Nobody eats at Linebaugh’s anymore.
G D
Now the Opry’s gone and the streets are bare.
A D
Ernest Tubb’s record shop is dark.
D Em G
And the drunks are gone from the Merchant’s Hotel
Em A
Everybody’s gone to the park.
D Em G
Won’t no one hear the phone ring - is Benny Martin there?
D A D
Or watch to see who comes in through the door.
Em G
‘Cept the few that come around again to use the parking lot,
D A D
Nobody eats at Linebaugh’s anymore.
G D
Now the Opry’s gone and the streets are bare.
A D
Ernest Tubb’s record shop is dark.
D Em G
And the drunks are gone from the Merchant’s Hotel
Em A
Everybody’s gone to the park.
D Em G
Somewhere in the suburbs the Opry plays tonight,
D A D
but the people come around to take the rides.
D Em G
The park shuts up at bedtime; there’s nowheres else to go.
D A D
Nobody eats at Linebaugh’s anymore.
