CAPO #1
D
I'm just a guitar, in the pawn shop on the corner,
        G                      D
And I'm waiting for someone to play me now and then.
   A
My strings are kinda rusty, and I'm just a little dusty,
                                                D
Oh, but you'd be too, if you've been where I've been.
D
I did some shows with Haggard, back in 1967,
        G                    E
Now I'm dying for someone to play me back home.
*Chorus*
G           A            D                G
I'm just a guitar in the pawn shop on the corner,
     D              A            D
Hey, come on by and listen to my song.
*break*

D
I've seen at least a million of those tiny, smokey bar rooms,
         G                                        A                   D
And I've helped to heal some heartaches, and I've helped to sell some beer.
        A
And the last one that held me, just couldn't wait to sell me.
                                   D
For 20 dollars, he left me hanging here.
D
But I dream about the spotlight, and the roaring of the people,
      G                        E
And I wonder if I'm ever gonna hear 'em sing along.
*Chorus*
G          A             D                G
I'm just a guitar in the pawn shop on the corner,
     D              A            D
Hey, come on by and listen to my song.
*break*

D
I've got a lot of memories and a song or two left in me,
         G                            E
And some day someone will pick me and play me back home.
*Chorus*
G          A             D                G
I'm just a guitar in the pawn shop on the corner,
     D              A            D
Hey, come on by and listen to my song.
D                       A            D
Won't ya come on by and listen to my song.
DAD
