That Old Beat Up Guitar

C
Well I found her in a pawnshop
           F       C
Somewhere up in Ohio
         C
Where I guess some rounder came up short
        G
And he had to let her go
C
Cost me ninety dollars
           F                  C
But she's worth much more by far
         C
Cause I never had a better friend
            G             C
Than that old beat up guitar

     F                    G
She didn't look like too much
        C                 F
Just a Roy Smeck Stage Deluxe
     F                 C
But a lady has never faired as well
        G                  C
Who'd traveled through so much

C
She picked up the name of Angel
       F               C
In an old New Orleans bar
 C
Where a drunken poet drew one
        G
On the top of that guitar
     C
Old Dave Stovall he marked her
               F                     C
Scratched the song right out of his heart
         C
Seems everyone who used her
              G
Scarred that old beat up guitar

     F                    G
She didn't look like too much
        C                 F
Just a Roy Smeck Stage Deluxe
     F                 C
But a lady has never faired as well
        G                  C
Who'd traveled through so much

  C
She traveled with me always
             F          C
Through the alleys and bars
C
Songs I sang and friends I knew
      G
Were part of that guitar
     C
At nights it was my pillow
           F              C
Sleeping underneath the stars
C
Day and night I stayed alive
           G               C
With that old beat up guitar

     F                    G
She didn't look like too much
        C                 F
Just a Roy Smeck Stage Deluxe
     F                 C
But a lady has never faired as well
        G                  C
Who'd traveled through so much

  C
Yeah a ramblin man he has his troubles
         F                 C
Hanging on to all that he owns
    C
After many years of travelin'
       G
That guitar fell by the road
 C
Then one night in New Mexico
    F                 C
I stumbled into this bar
   C
Angel laid there smilin'
         G              C
On that old beat up guitar

 C
Well I took her from the wall
       F                 C
Ran my hands across the scars
  C
Played again the old songs
           G
That were written on that guitar
C
Friends I've loved and lost
       F                C
Many nights inside of a bar
C
Came back so clearly singing with
      G             C
That old beat up guitar

     F                    G
She didn't look like too much
        C                 F
Just a Roy Smeck Stage Deluxe
     F                 C
But a lady has never faired as well
        G                  C
Who'd traveled through so much

 C
Now she travels with me always
             F          C
Through the alleys and bars
 C
Songs I sing and friends I know
            G
They are a part of that guitar
    C
At nights it is my pillow
          F               C
Sleeping underneath the stars
         C
Day and night I stayed alive
           G              C
With that old beat up guitar

     F                    G
She didn't look like too much
        C                 F
Just a Roy Smeck Stage Deluxe
     F                 C
But a lady has never faired as well
        G                  C
Who'd traveled through so much
