My brother's brand new bicycle is out janglin' in the street
Bm A G A
I watch him through the icicles with this wood box beneath my feet
[Chorus]
D A Bm G
All I got is this little wood guitar
D A Bm G
What it brought is neon lights in crowded bars
Bm A G A
Like all the Kings with all their gold went chasin' down your star I'm told
Em F#m G
Every highway takes me where you are
A D A Bm G D A Bm G
With this little wood guitar | | |

Passin' 'round their dinner plates, and dissectin' my life

Every highway takes me where you are
A D A Bm G
With this little wood guitar |
[Bridge]
Bm A
I never stopped believin', I just kept on singin'
G A
Now people come to hear from miles around
Bm A
And I don't mind confessin', but I still count my blessin's
Em F#m G
I just never thought I'd settle down
[Verse]

It's Christmas day, and little ones are wakin'
D A/C# Bm G
I hear them play, I can hear the presents shakin'
Bm A G A
A boy's outside on his new bike, janglin' in the street
Bm A G A
A little girl, she's watchin' him that wood box beneath her feet
[Chorus]
D A Bm D
All she got is this little wood guitar
D A Bm
What I thought is it might take her pretty far
Bm A G A
Like all the Kings with all their gold went chasin' down your star I'm told
Em F#m G
Every highway takes me where you are
A D A Bm G
With this little wood guitar |
D A Bm G D A Bm G D A Bm G
Little wood guitar | | | | |
