Intro.: |(D) |(D) |(G) |(G) | x 2
(D) He was selling an old gui-(G)tar and I bought it
(D) I saw her smiling (G)picture in his wallet
(D) He said, "I call her 'baby' but her (G)Christian name is Charlotte"
(D) (Do-do-do, do-do) (G) (do-do-do)
(D) She spends her days downtown (G)hooked up to some machine
(D) They say time can heal but time can't (G)heal everything
(D) The Lord's gonna take her home real (G)soon flying on angel's wings
(D) (Do-do-do, do-do) (G) (do-do-do)
(Chorus 1)
(G) I'm gonna cry right now and (D)that's ok
(G) We're all gonna die (D)someday
(Em) You won't remember a single (G)word I'm trying to say
(D) (Do-do-do, do-do) (G) (do-do-do)
(Chorus-2)
(G) It's all a grand illusion when you (D)think you're in control
(G) She's all I got left of selling (D)everything I own
There's no (Em)good in a goodbye, it's the (G)beginning of the end
(A)I left some songs in the guitar, (G) sing 'em good my (D)friend
(D) (Do-do-do) (G/D) Oh, yeah, (D) (do-do-do, (G/D) do-do-do)
(D) This old guitar and case has (G/D)been in a million bars
Been a (D)fools disciple miss dance recitals and the (G/D)birth of every child
(D)Honestly honesty never (G/D)goes out of style, so sing the pain my friend
(D) (Do-do-do, do-do) (G) (do-do-do)
(D) So the world she's her as just (G)desperate grey and old
(D)All I see is my true love my (G)heart my life my soul
At (D)least for one more night, I got a beautiful (G)wrinkled hand to hold
So sing the truth my friend (D) (Do-do-do, do-do) (G) (do-do-do)
(Chorus 1)
(G) I'm gonna cry right now and (D)that's ok
(G) We're all gonna die (D)someday
(Em) You won't remember a single (G)word I'm trying to say
(D) (Do-do-do, do-do) (G) (do-do-do)
(Chorus-2)
(G) It's all a grand illusion when you (D)think you're in control
(G) She's all I got left of selling (D)everything I own
There's no (Em)good in a goodbye, it's the (G)beginning of the end
(A)I left some songs in the guitar, (G) sing 'em good my (D)friend
(D) I'm gonna sing the pain a-(G)way
(D) I'm gonna sing the truth, and (G)then
(D) I'm gonna sing em' good, (G) for my old (D)friend (G)
Well I (G)cried when I got in that truck so I put (D)on my shades
Looked (G)up at the crimson sky as the (D)sun began to fade
And for the (Em)first time in a long time I (G)swear I think I prayed
(D) I'm gonna sing the pain a-(G)way
(D) I'm gonna sing the truth, and (G)then
(D) I'm gonna sing em' good, (G) for my old (D) friend
(G/D) Yeah, my old (D)friend -----
