      C                                     F         C
Well, I'm gonna get on that old turpike and I'm gonna ride
                          D          G
I'm gonna leave this town till you decide
C                                F             C
Which one you want the most them Opry stars or me
F         C                G              C
Milwaukee here I come from Nashville Tennessee

[Verse 1]
                           F              C
Milwaukee is where we were before we came here
                     D                 G
Workin' in a brewery making the finest beer
C                                     F                C
You come to me on a payday night said let's go to Tennessee
F                  C                G           C   F
So we came down to Nashville to the Grand Ole Opry

[Verse 2]
      F                          Bb               F
Well, we were watchin' TV Ernest Tubb was singing loud
                                 G                   C
I said, "That's the man for me I love him there's no doubt
F                                Bb                  F
I'm leavin' you and going out to find out where he's at
         Bb                  F               C                F
And if I can't get him, I'll settle for that bluegrass Lester Flatt"

[Chorus]
C                                        F         C
I'm a gonna get on that ol' turnpike and I'm gonna ride
                            D          G
I'm a gonna leave this town till you decide
C                           F           C
Which one you love the best me or Jerry Lee
F         C                G              C
Milwaukee here I come from Nashville Tennessee

[Verse 3]
                             F               C
I'm a goin' now and trade my ol' Ford for an Olds
                                    D              G
Huh--I might get all drunked up and trade it for a Rolls
     C                                        F         C
But, there's a one thing I know for sure I'll always be blue
      F                   C               G           C
There ain't no way to get drunk enough to stop lovin' you

[Chorus]
                                         F         C
I'm a gonna get on that ol' turnpike and I'm gonna ride
                            D          G
I'm a gonna leave this town till you decide
C                           F           C
Which one you love the best me or Jerry Lee
F         C                G              C
Milwaukee here I come from Nashville Tennessee

[Outro]
    F         C                G              C
Oh, Milwaukee here I come from Nashville Tennessee
