After E9eighteen years
And you Em9still don't see me
A6Like you ought tDmaj7o do
[Verse 2]
Em7Maybe we could tA7alk 'bout things
If Dmaj7you was made of wood and strings
Em7While I love her eA7very sound
Dmaj7I dunno how to turn you down
Em7You're so thick and my pA7atience thin
Dmaj7So I got me a new best friend
Em7With a pickup that puts yA7ou to shame
Dmaj7And Cherry is her name
[Verse 3]

E9Cherry's there
And she Em9plays along
While A6I sing out my Dmaj7blues

I'm tEm7alking 'A7bout my Dmaj7new guitar
