[E]
[Am]
I was passing by a pawn [F] shop, an older part of [G] town.
Something caught my eye, [E] so I stopped and turned around.
[Am]
I stepped inside [A] and there I [F] spy, in the middle of it all,
[G] was an old beat-up guitar, [E]
hanging on the wall.
[Am] Hey, what do you want for that piece of junk?
I [F] asked the old man.
[G] He just smiled and took it down, and he [E] put it in my hand.
[Am] He said, hey, you tell me [A] what it's worth.
[F] You're the one who wants it.
[G] Turn it up, play a song.
[E] Let's just see what haunts it.
[Am]
So I hit a couple [B] of chords, [F] my old country way of strumming.
[G]
Then my fingers turned to [E] lightning, and man, I never heard it coming.
[Am]
It was like I always knew it, [F] I just don't know where I learned it.
[G]
There was nothing but a truth, [E] so I just reattacked and burned.
[Am]
[F]
[G]
[E]
[Am]
Well, I lost all track of [A] time, [F]
there was nothing I couldn't pick.
[G]
Up and down the neck, [E]
man, I never [E] missed a lick.
[Am]
The guitar almost played [A] [F] itself, and there was nothing I couldn't do.
[G] It was getting hard to tell [A] [E] just who was playing who.
[Am]
When I finally put it down, [F]
couldn't catch my breath.
[G]
My hands were shaking, [E] and I was scared half to death.
[Am]
The old man finally got up, [A] [F] said, where the hell you been?
[G] I've been waiting all these years [E] for you to stumble in.
[Am] And he took down an old dusty [F] case, said, go on, pack it up, son.
[G] You don't owe me nothing.
[E] And then he said, good luck.
[Am]
There was something [F] spooky in his voice, and something strange on his face.
[G] And when he shut the lid, [E] I saw my name was on the case.
