Artist/Band: Twitty Conway Tabs
Song: Play Guitar Play Tab
"Play, Guitar Play"
Performed by Conway Twitty
I don't know who wrote it, when, or which album it is from.
(Capo up as needed, 3d fret?... Moderate, wistful tempo, kind of a
"clang dangy clang dangy clang dangy clang dangy... beat. The
underlined parts serve as the reprise/chorus - same beat only more
intense... this guy feels BAD about what-the-heck-ever he did back
then... The last lines after the second reprise/chorus are kind of a
fade out, good place for a harmonica to add a lonesome flourish, string
out that last "meeeeeeee..." right up to "Guitar Play..." then end
quickly.)
C
Play, guitar play.... Take me back.... to yes-terday...
G Gm
let me see... cotton growin'... in the fields....
C
Let me hear... my momma callin'... "Look a yon-der y'all who's comin'!
G F C
Down the road, he's comin' home!".... but they know i never will.
G F C
I left them livin' with that awful thang i done....
G F G Gm
I didn't tell them I just packed my clothes and run....
C
Play... Guitar play... Help me through... another day.
G Gm
Help me make... another dollar... before I go.......
C
We got time... for one more song... then we'll have... to move along...
G F C
another town... another crowd... Lord I wonder if they know...
G F C
Can they read between the lines in my songs...
G F G Gm
as i sing about a good boy, that went wrong...
F C
Guitar we got years to kill...
F C
Got to climb that distant hill...
F C
I wonder if they think of me............
Guitar play....
