Chords with lyrics

Intro: D MajorD

Verse:1
D MajorD                                             G+G
I was waiting at the door, treasure I'd been searching for behind it
A augmentedA                                               G+G   D MajorD
An old woman let me in, she was eager to begin she said, ''I'll find it''
D MajorD                                                   G+G      E minorEm
She opened up a tattered case, I felt my heart begin to race, an old Martin
E minorEm         A augmentedA           E minorEm        A augmentedA
And there we made the deal, five hundred bucks, a steal
E minorEm          A augmentedA       G+G   D MajorD
Is it a dream or is it real, I wondered

Verse:2
D MajorD                                                      G+G
She said, ''this was my Vern's guitar, it made him feel just like a star to play it
A augmentedA                                              G+G   D MajorD
And in his younger days, folks in town they were amazed to hear him
D MajorD                                                     G+G         E minorEm
For in his hands it came to life, and I was proud to be his wife oh, the memories
E minorEm          A augmentedA      E minorEm            A augmentedA
No one plays it anyway, since that day it's not the same
E minorEm             A augmentedA             G+G     D MajorD
I hope that you will like to play Vern's old guitar

Instrumental: D MajorD G+G A augmentedA E minorEm A augmentedA G+G D MajorD

Verse:
D MajorD                                          G+G
I hadn't noticed Vern, but in the corner of that room he watched us
A augmentedA                                                G+G  D MajorD
He couldn't say a word, but from his look I clearly heard ''don't do this''
D MajorD                                                         G+G         E minorEm
Tears flowed from those sad old eyes, that guitar I'd meant to buy, oh, the memories
E minorEm     A augmentedA          E minorEm             A augmentedA
I set that flat top down, with empty hands I left that town
E minorEm            A augmentedA              G+G     D MajorD
Another's treasure I had found Vern's old guitar
