VERSE 1
He'd an old-fashioned way when he Fstarted to play 
He'd an Cold-fashioned steel guiGtar 
With no Camps and no leads, it fulFfilled all his needs 
And toCgether they'd Gboth traveled Cfar 
Just an Gold troubadour on an Fold bar-room Cfloor 
Just an Bbold troubaDdour and his Gsong 
But it Ctore them apart, 'cause it Fcame from his heart 
And they'd Cnot heard that Gart for so Clong F  C  G  C

VERSE 2
Then a kid playing pool said, “This Fold man's a fool 
He's not Ccool, just a ghoul past his Gprime” 
So he Cwalked to the wall where the Fjukebox stood tall 
And he Cpaid for some Ghits of the Ctime 
Then a Ggirl passed him by with a Flook in her Ceye 
That said 'BbDon't even Dtry to opGpose'
Pulled the Cplug from the wall said "An Fass needs a stall 
And we Call hope you've Ggot one of Cthose" F

VERSE 3
She stood her Gground, Fshe stared him Gdown 
The Fkid raised a fist, then he Gsmiled 
He said "FYou're wasted on him" 
Then he Cturned with a grin 
And said "BbGirls like Dyou drive me Gwild 
You're Bbyoung enough to Dbe the old man's Gchild"

VERSE 4
When the Ckid left the room, a Fchord filled the gloom
And a Cvoice sang a song for the Gstars 
For the Cbreeze in the trees, for Fnights such as these 
And for Cgirls who find Glovers in Cbars 
And Gwhen the chord died like a Fwave on the Ctide 
Like the Bbcry from a Dhigh flying Gbird 
He put Cdown his guitar, she said "FI've got my car 
And a Cjar, if you'll Gjust say the Cword"
