[verse]

C
There's a guitar here in the window
C F
I'd like to play before it's sold.
F G
It's such a classic, mint condition,
C F C
Great shape for one this old.
C
Now all these axes have their stories,
C F G
Of the gigs that they have seen
G G7
But when this one sold the first time
C
I was seventeen.
[bridge]

F
'Course back then I didn't want it
Fm
It was way too new for me.
G E7
I needed something old and righteous
Am G
With its own authority.

F
So the first guitar I ever bought
Fm
Was twice as old as me
G
'Cause its life was full of music,
G7 F C
As I dreamed that mine might be.
[verse]

F
And I played that thing a thousand nights
Fm
And traded it away
G
For something slightly newer
F C
That was easier to play.
F
But now lately I buy new guitars
Fm
They're shiny as a hearse.
G E7
I still like the look of road wear,
Am G
But the roles have been reversed.
[outro]

C
And now this thing is a classic
Fm
But I still don't need to buy.
G F
Yeah, the old one's have their stories
F G F C C F G
But by now' So do I.
