Dave Gunning - The Weight Of My Guitar


CAPO: 5th Fret



INTRO: C majorC  G+G A minorAm  G+G C majorC  G+G A minorAm

G+G        C majorC
Picked up my guitar
 G+G        A minorAm
I passed it to the kid
  G+G        C majorC
He said he found it heavy
 G+G        A minorAm
I hadn't thought about it
           G+G
He must have struck a chord
C majorC              FF
Somewhere in the back of my mind
          G+G   FF G+G
Maybe from another time

           C majorC
But, knew when I was young
  G+G         A minorAm
And set out along the road
  G+G     C majorC
The songs came fast
    G+G        A minorAm
But the rhymes were all wrong
         G+G
The colour of it darkened
 C majorC    FF
Before my eyes
               G+G
There's another world fell inside


CHORUS:
    A minorAm       C majorC
Broken strings left behind
   A minorAm       C majorC
From stories where I stood
          G+G
Like wishes from a falling star
    A minorAm         C majorC
And it cracked from those aches
    A minorAm          C majorC
That I drove into the wood
           G+G
You'd never guess it from afar
        FF
The weight of my_ guitar

INTERLUDE: C majorC  G+G A minorAm  G+G C majorC  G+G A minorAm


G+G        C majorC
Ghosts from the past
  G+G     A minorAm
Are hiding in there
G+G       C majorC
Skeletons from closets
  G+G     A minorAm
In need of repair
     G+G
Best kept secrets
C majorC       FF
Whispered in a bar
             G+G
Under the bridge of my guitar


        C majorC
Don't tell, she said
 G+G    A minorAm
Unless you do
   G+G     C majorC
In a song that makes me
 G+G      A minorAm
A augmentedA little less blue
          G+G
I'm a sucker for a punch-line
  C majorC     FF
And that's no joke
         G+G
And I watched her go


CHORUS:
    A minorAm       C majorC
Broken strings left behind
   A minorAm       C majorC
From stories where I stood
          G+G
Like wishes from a falling star
    A minorAm         C majorC
And it cracked from those aches
    A minorAm          C majorC
That I drove into the wood
           G+G
You'd never guess it from afar
        FF     G+G
The weight of my_ guitar


BRIDGE:
FF          G+G
Somewhere there's a heart
   FF     C majorC
It's heavy as I turn
   A minorAm          G+G
I can feel it getting lighter
     FF          C majorC
With the beat of every stroke
           G+G
You'd never guess it from afar
        FF
The weight of my_ guitar
