Biography:
John Hiatt (born on August 20, 1952 in Indianapolis, Indiana, U.S.) is an American blues and rock guitarist, pianist, and singer-songwriter. He has been nominated for eleven Grammy Awards. Hiatt's sales have never quite matched his reputation. His songs have been covered by a wide variety of artists such as Bonnie Raitt, Ronnie Milsap, Willie Nelson, Iggy Pop, Three Dog Night, and The Neville Brothers, yet it took him thirteen years to reach the charts himself.

Well he threw one down form the top of the stairs
Am C D
beautiful women were staning everywhere
Em G
they all got wet when he smahed that thing
Am D G
but off in the dark you could hear somebody sing
Am Em
oh it breaks my heart to see those stars
G C D G
smashing a perfectly good guitar
Am Em
i don;t know who they think they are
D G C D
smashing a perfectly good guitar
Em D Em

it started back in 1963
his momma wounlt buy him
that new red harmony
he settled fgor a sunburt with a crack
but he's still trying to break his momma's back.
chorus
Solo Guitar - Same Chords as intro.
he loved that guitar just like a girlfriend
but ever good thing comes to an end
now he just sits in his room all day
whistling every note he used to play
there out to be a law with no bail
smash a guitar and you go to jail
with no chance for early parole
you don;t get out till you get some soul
chorus
late at night the end of the road
he wished he still had the old guitar to hold
he'd rock it like a baby in his arms
never let it come ot any harm
