[Verse]
C Am
This guitar only sings the way I play it
C Am
It's part of me, just like another arm
F G
It started out as a little ukulele
Am G C
When I was just a boy on the farm
[Verse]
C Am
My fingers were too lazy for piano
C Am
But I could hold a tune pretty good
F G
And I couldn't sing a song with a trombone
Am G C
So I taught myself to play this piece of wood
[Chorus]
Am F
But I know you are staying beside me
G C
True lovers we both feel the pain
Am F
And I'd throw this old box on the fire
G C
Before I'd ever lose you again
[Verse]
C Am
Well you never did like this old guitar did you darling
C Am
Cause the guitar takes your man away from you
F G
One day I'll write a song for you darling
Am G C
That'll be the very best that I can do
[Verse]
C Am
Will it be a song about a wild wind
C Am
With thunderclap and flashes of blue
F G
Or will it be a song about an angel
Am G C
It'll never be as beautiful as you
[Verse]
C Am
This guitar only sings the way I play it
C Am
It's part of me, just like another arm
F G
It started out as a little ukulele
Am G C
When I was just a boy on the farm
[Verse]
C Am
But now I am a man with a woman
C Am
The words I wanna say won't come through
F G
No matter where this guitar's gonna take us
Am G C
It'll never be as beautiful as you
