[Intro]
Strum each Chord for 4 Measures
Bm G A F# x2
[Verse]
Bm
Well, I was passing by a pawn shop
G
In an older part of town
A
Something caught my eye
F#
And I stopped and turned around
Bm
I stepped inside and there I spied
G
In the middle of it all
A
Was a beat up old guitar
F#
Hanging on the wall.
Bm
What do you want for that piece of junk
G
I asked the old man
A
He just smiled and took it down
F#
And he put it in my hand
Bm
He said you tell me what it's worth
G
You're the one who wants it
A
Turn it up, play a song
F#
And let's just see what haunts it
Bm 2x
Bm
So I hit a couple of cords
G
In my old country way of strumming
A
And then my fingers turned to lightning
F#
Man.. I never heard it coming
Bm
It was like I always knew it
G
I just don't know where I learned it
A
It wasn't nothin' but the truth
F#
So I just reared back and burned it
[Solo]
Bm G A F# x4
[Verse]
Bm
Well I lost all track of time
G
There was nothing I couldn't pick
A
Up and down the neck
F#
Man.. I never missed a lick
Bm
The guitar almost played itself
G
There was nothing I could do
A
It was getting hard to tell
F#
Just who was playing who
Bm 2x
Bm
When I finally put it down
G
I couldn't catch my breath
A
My hands were shaking
F#
And I was scared to death
Bm
The old man finally got up
G
Said where in the Hell you been
A
I've been waiting all these years
F#
For you to stumble in
Bm
Then he took down an old dusty case
G
Said go on and pack it up
A
You don't owe me nothing
F#
And then he said good luck
Bm
There was something spooky in his voice
G
And something strange on his face
A (Let it ring)
When he shut the lid
F# (Let it ring)
I saw my name was on the case
[Outro]
Bm G A F# x3 (let the last F# ring out)
