Strumming pattern: ↓↑,↓↑,↓↑,↓↑ INTRO: C G C G D VERSE: C G C G I found it in a pawn shop in a ragged cardboard case Em D With the guns and dusty watches it looked so out of place C G Gmaj7 Em With a Trailways baggage sticker yellow frayed and torn C G D G Destination Nashville September '64 CHORUS: Em C G D And you could tell by the fingerboard her painted nails were long Em C D She only needed three chords to play those good ole country songs G C G Gmaj7 Em And her name's etched in the finish like a fading battle scar C G D G And this 1950 Gibson was Emma Jean's guitar
INSTRUMENTAL: C G C G VERSE: C G C G I wonder if she played it in a small town talent show Em D With her hair teased to perfection in a dress her mamma sewed C G Gmaj7 Em And for a little inspiration she pasted on a star C G D G Here up on the head stock of Emma Jean's guitar CHORUS: Gmaj7 Em C G D And you could tell by the fingerboard her painted nails were long Em C D She only needed three chords to play those good ole country songs G C G Gmaj7 Em And her name's etched in the finish like a fading battle scar C G D G And this 1950 Gibson was Emma Jean's guitar INSTRUMENTAL: C G ↓ Em ↓ G C G VERSE: C G C G I wouldn't even know her if I saw her face to face Em D But there's a little bit of Emma Jean in every song I play G Gmaj7 Em She passed along these hopes and dreams cradled in my arms C G D G And I am just a guardian of Emma Jean's guitar CHORUS: Gmaj7 Em C G D And you could tell by the fingerboard her painted nails were long Em C D She only needed three chords to play those good ole country songs G C G Gmaj7 Em And her name's etched in the finish like a fading battle scar C G D G And this 1950 Gibson was Emma Jean's guitar
