C                           F
I'm a gonna be the next big nothing
C                            G
You won't see my name on M.T.V
C                           F
I'm a gonna be the next big nothing
C               G             C
No one knows my name in Tennessee

[Verse 1]
C                                F
Once I thought that I would be a big star
C                        G
Making everybody look at me
C                         F
Driving to the bank in my big car
C            G        C
Looking at myself on tv

[Chorus]
C                                F
Well I'm a gonna be the next big nothing
C                            G
You won't see my name on M.T.V
C                           F
I'm a gonna be the next big nothing
C               G             C
No one knows my name in Tennessee

[Verse 2]
C                          F
Mama said that I was gonna make it
C                                G
That I'd sing on that grand ol' opry
C                              F
Then I'd stick my hands in wet concrete
    C           G                 C
But no one ever thought of asking me

[Chorus]
C                                F
Well I'm a gonna be the next big nothing
C                            G
You won't see my name on M.T.V
C                           F
I'm a gonna be the next big nothing
C               G             C   Dm / F
No one knows my name in Tennessee
       C                 G             C    G   C
I said you won't know my name in Tennessee
