That Old Beat Up Guitar chords by Jerry Jeff Walker

Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

C majorC
Well I found her in a pawnshop
      FF    C majorC
Somewhere up in Ohio
     C majorC
Where I guess some rounder came up short
    G+G
And he had to let her go
C majorC
Cost me ninety dollars
      FF         C majorC
But she's worth much more by far
     C majorC
Cause I never had a better friend
      G+G       C majorC
Than that old beat up guitar

Chorus:

   FF          G+G
She didn't look like too much
    C majorC         FF
Just a Roy Smeck Stage Deluxe
   FF         C majorC
But a lady has never faired as well
    G+G         C majorC
Who'd traveled through so much

Verse 2:

C majorC
She picked up the name of Angel
    FF        C majorC
In an old New Orleans bar
 C majorC
Where a drunken poet drew one
    G+G
On the top of that guitar
   C majorC
Old Dave Stovall he marked her
        FF           C majorC
Scratched the song right out of his heart
     C majorC
Seems everyone who used her
       G+G
Scarred that old beat up guitar

Chorus:

   FF          G+G
She didn't look like too much
    C majorC         FF
Just a Roy Smeck Stage Deluxe
   FF         C majorC
But a lady has never faired as well
    G+G         C majorC
Who'd traveled through so much


Verse 3:

 C majorC
She traveled with me always
       FF     C majorC
Through the alleys and bars
C majorC
Songs I sang and friends I knew
   G+G
Were part of that guitar
   C majorC
At nights it was my pillow
      FF       C majorC
Sleeping underneath the stars
C majorC
Day and night I stayed alive
      G+G        C majorC
With that old beat up guitar


Chorus:

   FF          G+G
She didn't look like too much
    C majorC         FF
Just a Roy Smeck Stage Deluxe
   FF         C majorC
But a lady has never faired as well
    G+G         C majorC
Who'd traveled through so much

Verse 4:

 C majorC
Yeah a ramblin man he has his troubles
     FF         C majorC
Hanging on to all that he owns
  C majorC
After many years of travelin'
    G+G
That guitar fell by the road
 C majorC
Then one night in New Mexico
  FF         C majorC
I stumbled into this bar
  C majorC
Angel laid there smilin'
     G+G       C majorC
On that old beat up guitar

Verse 5:

 C majorC
Well I took her from the wall
    FF         C majorC
Ran my hands across the scars
 C majorC
Played again the old songs
      G+G
That were written on that guitar
C majorC
Friends I've loved and lost
    FF        C majorC
Many nights inside of a bar
C majorC
Came back so clearly singing with
   G+G       C majorC
That old beat up guitar

Chorus:

   FF          G+G
She didn't look like too much
    C majorC         FF
Just a Roy Smeck Stage Deluxe
   FF         C majorC
But a lady has never faired as well
    G+G         C majorC
Who'd traveled through so much

Verse 6:

 C majorC
Now she travels with me always
       FF     C majorC
Through the alleys and bars
 C majorC
Songs I sing and friends I know
      G+G
They are a part of that guitar
  C majorC
At nights it is my pillow
     FF        C majorC
Sleeping underneath the stars
     C majorC
Day and night I stayed alive
      G+G       C majorC
With that old beat up guitar

Chorus:

   FF          G+G
She didn't look like too much
    C majorC         FF
Just a Roy Smeck Stage Deluxe
   FF         C majorC
But a lady has never faired as well
    G+G         C majorC
Who'd traveled through so much
