[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
G
And our train's wrecked
G D5
And our buses fell apart
D5 Am
We couldn't see past the lights
Am C
We drove into the dark
[Verse 2]
G
We tore those places down
D5
We burned them to the ground
Am
Then we left those towns
Am C
Headed down the road again
[Chorus]
G
And my hands hurt
G D5
from playing my guitar
D5 Am
Every night in all those bars
Am C
We played like we were stars
[Verse 3]
G
They backed us in the corner
D
The crowd called out for more
Am
We turned it up too loud
Am C
And played our way out the front door
[Verse 4]
G
Kori played the drums
D5
Willie played the mandolin
Am
He jumped around the stage
C
We thought that it would never end
[Chorus]
G
And my hands hurt
G D5
from playing my guitar
D5 Am
Every night in all those bars
Am C
We played like we were stars

When I'm an old man
D
And I can't make my way
Am
They'll ask me about my life
C
And this is what I'll say
[Chorus]
G
I'll say my hands hurt
G D5
from playing my guitar
D5 Am
Every night in all those bars
Am C
We played like we were stars
