A                     A   G   D
  I wanna be famous

[Verse]

A              G                  D
I got my first guitar when I was 3,
A            G                    D
I took that thing everywhere with me
A              G                  D
Strummin along to all my favorite songs,
A                  G               D
Using what I could find for a microphone

[Pre-Chorus]

E                         D
 Mom and Dad, they would ask me,
E                         D
 When you grow up, what do you wanna be?
D
And I said

[Chorus]

A                  G
I wannabe famous, wannabe a Rockstar,
D
wannabe on that stage with my guitar,
A                 G
Singing my songs all night long,
D
rockin out a redneck melody
         A              G
I wanna play just like Merle Haggard,
       D
Cause Lord knows Mama Tried
                 E                             D
I wanna hear the crowd singing along to all my songs,
D
Damn right I’m a wannabe

[Verse]

A          G                D
I turned 18 and I moved to, Tennessee
A           G                  D
Country music had this hold on me
A                G             D
Honkytonks, loud crowds, and neon lights
A                 G          D
Just playing for tips, most nights

[Pre-Chorus]

E               D
Writing songs, trying to break through
E                     D
This is all I’ve ever wanted to do

[Chorus]

A                  G
I wannabe famous, wannabe a Rockstar,
D
wannabe on that stage with my guitar,
A                 G
Singing my songs all night long,
D
rockin out a redneck melody
         A              G
I wanna play just like Merle Haggard,
       D
Cause Lord knows Mama Tried
                 E                             D
I wanna hear the crowd singing along to all my songs,
D                             A   G    D
Damn right I’m a wannabe

[Bridge]

E                        D
Hearing our songs on the radio
E                        D
Man that chills me to the bones

[Chorus]

A                     G
I'm gonna be famous, gonna be a Rockstar,
A                  G
I wannabe famous, wannabe a Rockstar,
D
wannabe on that stage with my guitar,
A                 G
Singing my songs all night long,
D
rockin out a redneck melody
         A              G
I wanna play just like Merle Haggard,
       D
Cause Lord knows Mama Tried
                 E                             D
I wanna hear the crowd singing along to all my songs,

[Outro]

E                            D
If you know the words y’all sing along,
D                             A    G     D
Damn right I’m a wannabe
D                              A   G    D
Yeah you know I’m a gonnabe
