Verse C The moon on the Cumberland River G C Went down In a cold bloody red G And you lay beside me and trembled D Like I don't belong in your bed C It's just like that night on Old Hickory G C And the motel way out on west end G You tried but your heart was in it D G Now you're fighting against it againVerse C Many times I've regrouped my emotions G C And smiles through the struggles and pain G And make believe I'm all together D Just like I'm doing again G But my little defeats keep on coming C G Cause you keep on holding the line C G I'm loosing ground with you daily D G And it's just a matter of timeC And the battle of Nashville is raging G D There's a troubling deep in my soul C G Here's my swan song for music city D G Cause my forces are out of control C I have hope against hope that you love me G C And my heart won't give up the fight G So the battle of Nashville continues D G And I pray you'll you're surrender tonightC And the battle of Nashville is raging G D There's a troubling deep in my soul C G Here's my swan song for music city D G Cause my forces are out of control C I have hope against hope that you love me G C And my heart won't give up the fight G So the battle of Nashville continues D G And I pray you'll you're surrender tonight
