CI’ve got Frusty guitar strings from Ccrying salty tears
And this band stand is getting pretty G7wet
I’ve got Crusty guitar strings from Fcrying salty Ctears
And I’m not even G7through crying Cyet
Well you always got your kicks when I Fplayed my hot Clicks
You said I was the light of your G7life
But Cwhen you called today Fsaid you were going Caway
That you would be G7another picker’s Cwife
CI’ve got Frusty guitar strings from Ccrying salty tears
And this band stand is getting pretty G7wet
I’ve got Crusty guitar strings from Fcrying salty Ctears
And I’m not even G7through crying Cyet
I was a guitar picker in a Fgood ol’ country Cband
And I used to sit and practice every G7day
I was Cheaded for the top when I Fheard my G sting Cpop
Then my fame started G7slipping aCway
CI’ve got Frusty guitar strings from Ccrying salty tears
And this band stand is getting pretty G7wet
I’ve got Crusty guitar strings from Fcrying salty Ctears
And I’m not even G7through crying Cyet
Now I’m picking sour notes on Fthese sad songs I Cwrote
I’m out of tune on every note I G7play
As my Csalty tears fall down I Fknow I’m sorrow Cbound
I’m rusting my G7poor career Caway
CI’ve got Frusty guitar strings from Ccrying salty tears
And this band stand is getting pretty G7wet
I’ve got Crusty guitar strings from Fcrying salty Ctears
And I’m not even G7through crying Cyet
And I’m not even G7through crying Cyet
