1.There was a brand new stranger at the old bus station

                            D         G

  He said Music City is my destination

                C                       D

  He said the whole wide world's gonna sing my songs

               G                   C

  And you can take that to the bank

  Because...

  G          C

C. I'm on a mission

   I'm on a mission from Hank

2.He got a furnished room and a job at the market

  He kept a little notebook in his back pocket

  And every time you'd see him he was writing a song,

  And he'd never leave one page blank

  He'd say...

C.

   G        Csus   C  Dsus  D            G

B1.Well, he sang when no   one would listen

          Csus    C        Em            D

   So, he sang until they hung on every word

3.But then one day his phone started ringing

  They said we want you and the songs you've been singing

  And the kid said fine just give me some time

  To talk to my patron saint

  You see...

C.

B2.That night as he laid in the darkness

   Old Luke the Drifter came to him and said

4.Now here's your chance boy go on and take it

  Just sing from the heart and you're gonna make it

  But if anybody tries to change you

  Into something that you ain't

  You tell them...

C.
