Lindisfarne - This Guitar Never Lies
CAPO: 2nd Fret
[Intro]
Am E Am E Am E Am E
[Verse 1]
Am E Am E F
Hear me talking to you, hear me sing my song
C Dm E Am
Can you tell if it's really me, if I'm right or if I'm wrong
E Am E F
If I was telling the truth, could you see it in my eyes
C E
Whatever I tell you now
Am E Am E Am
This guitar never lies
[Verse 2]
E Am E
It's just a wooden box with holes and wires fastened on
F C Dm E
Made by a man in Nazareth, Tijuana or Taiwan
Am E Am E F
And as for the man who plays it, he might be real or otherwise
C E
The only thing you need to know is
Am C7 F
This guitar never lies
[Chorus]
G C C7 F
Never says forever, never lies
G Am E
However long you pick it, the same old thing applies___
[Verse 3]
Am E Am E
There was a man before me and he was the living proof
F C Dm E
Of just how far a boy can go, with three chords and the truth
Am E Am E F
Sure, he had his share of low-down ways you might despise
C E
But everywhere he played, they all said
Am E
This guitar never lies
[Instrumental]
E Am E Am E F C Dm E
Am E Am E F C E C7 F
Chorus:
G C C7 F
Never says forever, never lies
G Am E
However long you pick it, the same old thing applies___
[Verse 4]
Am E Am E F
The boys are back in town with those stories and the spin
C Dm E Am
The PR man has made his pitch, so let the show begin
E Am E F
It's a song you've heard before, a tale you recognize
C E
But anyway you choose to tell it
Am E
This guitar never lies
[Outro]
Am E
Never lies
Am Am/G Am/F# Am/F E Am
Never lies
