Well he threw one down form the top of the stairs

but off in the dark you could hear somebody sing

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

 

 

chorus
