Down On Music Row Chords & Lyrics - Dolly Parton

[INTRO]
[G]

[CHORUS]
[G]Down on Music Row
[C]Down on music Row
[G]If you want to be a star
[D]That's where you've got to [G]go

[VERSE 1]
[G]I could feel a change a coming
[C]I left my hometown a humming
[G]With my ol' guitar a strumming
[D]Songs that I had wrote
[G]I was on my way to Nashville
[C]I just couldn't hardly wait
[G]Till I could sing my songs
[D]To the folks on Music [G]Row

[VERSE 2]
[G]I got into Nashville early
[C]Sleepy, hungry, tired and dirty
[G]And on the steps of RCA
[D]I ate a stale, sweet roll
[G]In the fountain at the hall of fame
[C]I washed my face and read the names
[G]In the walkway of the stars
[D]Down on Music [G]Row

[CHORUS]
[G]Down on Music Row
[C]Down on music Row
[G]If you want to be a star
[D]That's where you've got to [G]go

[VERSE 3]
[G#]I waited there 'till eight o'clock
[C#]When office doors became unlocked
[G#]Then I started walking
[D#]Down the streets of Music Row
[G#]Just a walking up and down the street
[C#]Trying to find out who to see
[G#]To help me get on record
[D#]And to hear the songs I'd [G#]wrote

[VERSE 4]
[G#]But I found it going rough
[C#]Everyone was all tied up
[G#]Either in a conference
[D#]Or in the studio
[G#]They said that I could leave a tape
[C#]But they'd suggest I didn't wait
[G#]'Cause everyone was awful busy
[D#]Down on Music [G#]Row

[VERSE 5]
[G#]But I could feel that change a coming
[C#]And I just kept right on a humming
[G#]With my ol' guitar still strumming
[D#]All them songs that I'd wrote
[G#]And then Chet and Bob at RCA
[C#]Well, they listened to my songs that day
[G#]And they both told me that I was on my way
[D#]Down on Music [G#]Row

[CHORUS]
[G]Down on Music Row
[C]Down on music Row
[G]If you want to be a star
[D]That's where you've got to [G]go
