C                                                      F
Please come to Boston in the springtime
.       C                                                                                   F
I’m stayin’ here with some friends, and they’ve got lots of room
G                                                            C
You can sell your paintings on the sidewalk
.         Am                 G                                F
By a cafe where I hope to be workin’ soon
C
Please come to Boston
.             G                                                   C
I said, ‘No, would you come home to me?’
C                                                                                  G          C
And I said, ‘Hey, ramblin’ boy, now won’t cha settle down?
C                                G         C
Boston ain’t your kinda town
C                                                                                    F
There ain’t no gold, and there ain’t nobody like me
.              Dm                                    G                              C
I’m the number one fan of the man from Tennessee’

C                                                         F
Please come to Denver with the snowfall
.           C                                                                                         F
We’ll move up into the mountains so far that we can’t be found
G                                                                     C
And throw ‘I love you’ echoes down the canyon
.         Am                          G                                F
And then lie awake at night till they come back around
C
Please come to Denver
.             G                                                            C
I said, ‘No, boy, would you come home to me?’
C                                                                                  G          C
And I said, ‘Hey, ramblin’ boy, now won’t cha settle down?
C                                G         C
Denver ain’t your kinda town
C                                                                                    F
There ain’t no gold, and there ain’t nobody like me
.              Dm                                    G                              C
I’m the number one fan of the man from Tennessee’

.                  Am                              G
Now this drifter’s world goes ‘round and ‘round
.             F                                            C
And I doubt that it’s ever gonna stop
.            Am                             G
But of all the dreams I’ve lost or found
.         F
And all that I ain’t got
.   Dm                                                             G
I still need to cling to Somebody I can sing to

 






C                                                F
Please come to LA to live forever
C                                                                    F
California life alone is just too hard to build
.   G                                                                 C
I live in a house that looks out over the ocean
.                               Am                                     G                   F
And there’s some stars that fell from the sky livin’ up on the hill
C
Please come to LA
.             G                                                            C
I said, ‘No, boy, would you come home to me?’
C                                                                                  G          C
And I said, ‘Hey, ramblin’ boy, now won’t cha settle down?
C                                G         C
LA can’t be your kinda town
C                                                                                    F
There ain’t no gold, and there ain’t nobody like me
.              Dm                                    G                              C
I’m the number one fan of the man from Tennessee’
.              Dm                                    G                              C
‘I’m the number one fan of the man from Tennessee’
