[Verse 1]
D G
I'd sing the harmonies and Dixie sang the melody
F#
And we'd sing a little off key sometimes
G D
But we had some fun, son of a gun
E A
I wonder if I ever even cross her mind
[Verse 2]
D G
Then she ran away with Billy Bovine
F#
He was a flat top guitar picking friend o' mine
G D
And now I'm just sitting' home just counting' the stars
E D
I got close but no guitar
[Chorus]
D
I got close but no guitar
F#
She was a shooting star
B
Who ran off with a guitar picking friend o' mine
E
She's really on her way
A
I hear her records every day
D
I got close but no guitar
[Verse 3]
D G
I still play piano bars, still drive that same ol' car
F#
I live in that little shack in Tupelo
G D
Dixie is the queen of Billboard Magazine
E A
Playing' 'cross the country doing' one night shows
[Verse 4]
D G
A man walks up with a dollar in his hand
F#
Says let me hear the song by Dixie and the guitar man
E A
And as the dollar falls to the bottom of my jar
E D
I get close but no guitar
[Chorus]
D
I got close but no guitar
F#
She was a shooting star
B
Who ran off with a guitar picking friend o' mine
E
She's really on her way
A
I hear her records every day
D
I got close but no guitar
