He could always make a string buzz like it was still 19 89

And I remembered that old car

C G

And that old girlfriend of mine

It was a cracked wooden thing

He said "Wanna talk about old strings?

D G

"It's been 10, 12 years since I last changed mine"

And it said Sears down the neck

Had a little blood stain on the 2nd fret

D G

But you know it still keeps impeccable time

And that old girlfriend of mine

And that's the story of how O'Brien blew my mind
