Verse 1:

     G                              G
Well here you come again and you're looking so fine
    F#m                       F#m
You don't notice me, but it's alright
           G                    G               G        Bm
I'm just a guy who wishes that I could be your man someday
       G                         G
Yeah a picture paints a thousand words it's true
         F#m                        F#m 
But it's still not enough for how I feel about you
        Em                      Em                 G
I wanna put you in a melody, I gotta set you to groove

Chorus:

D                     G
I wanna put you in my car and drive and turn you up loud
D
Roll down all the windows and shout it out
       G
I love this girl
D                   G
Oh if I could press play, repeat how happy I'd be
D
Where ever I'd go I'd have you there with me
          Em
You'd be right where you belong

I wanna put you in a song (Replay Intro)

Verse 2:
Well I'd sing about your smile and your pretty blue eyes
The way your hair shimmers in the sunlight
It'd be so easy I'd just write it from my heart
Cause I gotta tell the world what you mean to me
Wrap you up in a melody so you'll be stuck in my head all day
Cause you're already there anyway, yes you are

(Chorus)

Bridge:
A                                                  Em 
And if I get it right everybody will be singing along, oh yeah
               A
And when they see you on the street they'll say
      G
Hey, ain't you the girl in that song?

(Solo, not tabbed yet)

(Chorus)

How to Be a Country Star: Updated

If the Statler Brothers were around today their classic song How to Be a Country Star might sing a little differently.

Original Statler Brothers Version

Updated for Today Version

There's questions I’m always hearing every where I go
Like can city slickers make it on the country shows

Well, it takes more than just a twangy voice to hide who you really are
There's a few more things you ought to learn to be a country star

You got to learn to dance like Simpson or dress like the band Perry
Be pretty like Gloriana, or play rock like Jason Aldean
Put a rasp in your voice like Kracker, go to high school like Taylor
Cross over like Kid Rock did and you'll be a country star

Gel your hair like Rascal Flatts does or troy or Kelly or Keith
Have a beard like James Otto or a father like Miley
Be old just like the Eagles and Jewel you just can’t ignore
Make no sense like Sugarland, and you’ll be a Country star.

As for think Mr. Bojangles, and it's not too hard to figure out.
