  C majorC       G+G        C majorC       G+G
I found it in a pawn shop in a ragged cardboard case
     E minorEm            D MajorD
With the guns and dusty watches it looked so out of place
     C majorC         G+G       Gmaj7Gmaj7   E minorEm
With a Trailways baggage sticker yellow frayed and torn
C majorC       G+G     D MajorD    G+G
Destination Nashville September '64


CHORUS:
       E minorEm      C majorC        G+G         D MajorD
And you could tell by the fingerboard her painted nails were long
   E minorEm      C majorC       D MajorD
She only needed three chords to play those good ole country songs
     G+G           C majorC       G+G   Gmaj7Gmaj7  E minorEm
And her name's etched in the finish like a fading battle scar
     C majorC   G+G     D MajorD      G+G
And this 1950 Gibson was Emma Jean's guitar

INSTRUMENTAL: C majorC G+G C majorC G+G

VERSE:
  C majorC       G+G      C majorC         G+G
I wonder if she played it in a small town talent show
     E minorEm                D MajorD
With her hair teased to perfection in a dress her mamma sewed
      C majorC     G+G      Gmaj7Gmaj7    E minorEm
And for a little inspiration she pasted on a star
C majorC        G+G       D MajorD      G+G
Here up on the head stock of Emma Jean's guitar

CHORUS:
   Gmaj7Gmaj7     E minorEm      C majorC        G+G         D MajorD
And you could tell by the fingerboard her painted nails were long
   E minorEm      C majorC       D MajorD
She only needed three chords to play those good ole country songs
     G+G           C majorC       G+G   Gmaj7Gmaj7  E minorEm
And her name's etched in the finish like a fading battle scar
     C majorC   G+G     D MajorD      G+G
And this 1950 Gibson was Emma Jean's guitar

INSTRUMENTAL: C majorC G+G D MajorD E minorEm D MajorD G+G C majorC G+G

I wouldn't even know her if I saw her face to face
         E minorEm            D MajorD
But there's a little bit of Emma Jean in every song I play
  G+G                      Gmaj7Gmaj7  E minorEm
She passed along these hopes and dreams cradled in my arms
  C majorC       G+G     D MajorD      G+G
And I am just a guardian of Emma Jean's guitar

CHORUS:
   Gmaj7Gmaj7     E minorEm      C majorC        G+G         D MajorD
And you could tell by the fingerboard her painted nails were long
   E minorEm      C majorC       D MajorD
She only needed three chords to play those good ole country songs
     G+G           C majorC       G+G   Gmaj7Gmaj7  E minorEm
And her name's etched in the finish like a fading battle scar
     C majorC   G+G     D MajorD      G+G
