Tom : A
A
[Verse 1]
A
Hell he rode into Nashville to try his luck
A
Just a beat up Chevy, and twenty five bucks
D
You know he had those dreams about makin' it big
A
And he wasn't goin' to settle for just any gig
E
Big red letters on the back of his car
C A
It said Jerry Fontaine and his jammin' guitar
[Verse 2]
A
Tried CBS, RCA, all them other letters
A
But they turned him away
D
Tried to get him a job down at The Tootsie's Bar
A
But they mashed him out the door with his jammin' guitar
E
Grand Ole Opry, story was the same
C
He said one day you'll be beggin' for Jerry Fontaine
[Chorus 1]
D
Go Jerry go, don't let 'em steal your dream
A
One day you'll be ridin' in the big limousine
C
All the little girls will be a-screamin' your name
D
Throwin' little kisses at Jerry Fontaine
[Instrumental]
A D A E A
[Verse 3]
A
He had hair like Elvis, a voice like Jerry Lee
A
Heart full of songs baby, just like me
D
Musta got discouraged, given it up
A
'Cause he left that ol' guitar in this hock shop
E
When I bought it I got more than I bargained for
C
Jerry left his dream in his jammin' guitar
[Chorus 2]
D
Go Jerry go, wherever you are
A
Takin' good care of his jammin' guitar
E
We may never make it, fortune and fame
C
But this is for me and Jerry Fontaine
[Instrumental]
D A E A
[Chorus 3]
D
Go Jerry go, wish you could see
A
All the little girls throwin' kisses at me
E
We may never make it, fortune and fame
C
But this one's for me and Mr. Jerry Fontaine
D A
This one's for me and Jerry Fontaine
