      E                                        A E
While browsing through a pawn shop, I saw this old guitar.
                                            A E               A
Its keys were bent and rusted, its body scratched and scarred.
     G     A                       G               E                     A E
Holy Moses, would you believe that guitar began to talk?  I swear it did.
         G                          A
Now it's not like you're thinkin, I wasn't stoned or drinkin?,

when I heard that talkin? guitar say...      0:53

    E
?My daddy was a Gibson, my momma was a Fender,
