[Bm] Well, I was passing by a pawn [G] shop in an older part of [D] town.
[A] Something caught my [E] eye [F#] when I stopped and turned around.
[B] I stepped [E] inside and there I [G] spied in the middle of it all [A] was a beat up old guitar
[F#] hanging on the wall.
[Bm] What do you want for that piece [G] of junk?
I asked the old man, [A] he just smiled and took it [F#] down and put it in my hand.
[Bm] Said you tell me what it's worth, [G] you're the one that wants it.
[A] Hurry it up, play a [F#] song and let's just see what [F#m] happens.
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
So I hit a couple of chords in [G] my old country way of strumming [A] and then my fingers turned
to [F#] lightning, man I never heard it coming.
[Bm] It was like I always knew, [G] I just don't know where I learned [A] it wasn't nothing but the [F#] truth.
So I just reared [C#] back and [Bm] burned.

[Bm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [A] _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ [Bm]
Well, I lost all [G] track of time, there was nothing I couldn't [A] pick.
Up and down the neck, [F#] man I never missed a lick.
[Bm] The guitar almost played itself [G] and there was nothing I could do.
[A] It was getting hard to [C#] tell just [F#] who was playing who. _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
When I finally put it down, [G] I couldn't catch my [A] breath.
My hands were shaking and I [F#] was scared to death. _
[Bm] The old man finally got up [G] and said where in the hell you been?
[A] I've been waiting all these [F#] years for you to stumble in.
[Bm] Then he took down an old dusty case [G] and said go on, pack it up.
[A] You don't owe me nothing.
[F#] Then he said good luck.
[Bm] There was something spooky in his voice [G] and something strange on his [A] face and when he
shut the lid I [F#] saw my name was on the [Bm] case.
