Verns Guitar chords by Gibson Brothers

Intro: D

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

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

Instrumental: D G A Em A G D

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