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
