Chords with lyrics

🎸 Intro:

C majorC  FF


🎸 Verse 1:
     C majorC
I spend more time with his guitar
    FF       C majorC
Than I ever did with him.
A minorAm
He was on his way out
  G+G
And I was on my way in.
  FF
I grew up on the stories
    C majorC       FF
Of the music that he made.
    C majorC
Now I follow in his footsteps
     G+G        C majorC
With the Gibson that he played.
C majorC
Granny said her daddy bought it
    FF          C majorC
At a pawnshop in our hometown.
   A minorAm
He’d play it at the rendezvous
      G+G
When the weekend rolled around.
   FF
She saw my love o’ music
   C majorC        FF
And passed it down to me.
C majorC
Givin’ me a chance
     G+G     C majorC
To carry on his legacy.

🎸 Chorus:
   FF
His guitar holds a secret
Of the first chord that he strummed.
       C majorC
And did he sit and pick for hours
Until his fingers were numb.
A minorAm
Was it just a hobby
G+G      FF
Or did he wanna be a star?
C majorC
These are things I wonder
G+G       C majorC
When I’m playin’ his guitar.

🎸 Verse 2:
   C majorC
He *lyrics* in this rosewood
     FF     C majorC
Long before I was born.
     A minorAm
I can almost see his fingers
    G+G
By the way the neck is worn.
    FF
It’s full o’ cracks and scratches
   C majorC      FF
Steepenin’ the *lyrics.*
      C majorC
When I’m playin’ this old flat top
     G+G         C majorC
I could feel him here with me.

🎸 Chorus:
   FF
His guitar holds a secret
Of the first chord that he strummed.
       C majorC
And did he sit and pick for hours
Until his fingers were numb.
A minorAm
Was it just a hobby
G+G      FF
Or did he wanna be a star?
C majorC
These are things I wonder
      G+G       C majorC
When I’m playin’ his guitar.

🎸 Bridge:
E minorEm
I’ve had lots of offers
     A minorAm
But I’m quick to let ’em know
   FF       C/EC/E
That no amount o’ money
   DmDm       G+G
Can make me let it go.

🎸 Chorus:
   FF
His guitar holds a secret
Of the first chord that he strummed.
C majorC
And did he sit and pick for hours
Until his fingers were numb.
A minorAm
Was it just a hobby
G+G      FF
Or did he wanna be a star?
C majorC
These are things I wonder
      G+G       C majorC
When I’m playin’ his guitar.

🎸 Outro:
     FF
I spend more time with his guitar
    FF
Than I ever did with him.
