Battle Of Nashville Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[VERSE]
[C]The moon on the Cumberland River
Went d[G]own In a cold bloody r[C]ed
And you lay beside me and t[G]rembled
Like I don't belong in your b[D]ed
It's j[C]ust like that night on Old Hickory
And the m[G]otel way out on west e[C]nd
You tried but your heart was [G]in it
Now you're f[D]ighting against it ag[G]ain

[CHORUS]
And the b[C]attle of Nashville is raging
There's [G]a troubling deep in my s[D]oul
Here's m[C]y swan song for music c[G]ity
Cause my f[D]orces are out of co[G]ntrol
I have h[C]ope against hope that you love me
And my h[G]eart won't give up the fi[C]ght
So the battle of Nashville cont[G]inues
And I p[D]ray you'll you're surrender ton[G]ight

[VERSE]
Many t[C]imes I've regrouped my emotions
And sm[G]iles through the struggles and p[C]ain
And make believe I'm all tog[G]ether
Just like I'm doing ag[D]ain
But my little defeats keep on co[G]ming
Cause y[C]ou keep on holding the l[G]ine
I'm loo[C]sing ground with you da[G]ily
And it's ju[D]st a matter of ti[G]me

[CHORUS]
And the b[C]attle of Nashville is raging
There's [G]a troubling deep in my s[D]oul
Here's m[C]y swan song for music c[G]ity
Cause my f[D]orces are out of co[G]ntrol
I have h[C]ope against hope that you love me
And my h[G]eart won't give up the fi[C]ght
So the battle of Nashville cont[G]inues
And I p[D]ray you'll you're surrender ton[G]ight
