Chords for Johnny Paycheck... "Old Violin" (with Lyrics)

_ _ [E] _ _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _
[B] _ _ I can't recall [E] one time [B] in my life I felt as lonely as I do tonight
I feel like I could lay down [E] and get [B] up no more
It's a damnedest feeling I [F#] never [B] felt it before
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _
[B] _ _ Tonight I feel [E] like an [B] old violin
Soon to be put away [F#] and never [B] played again
Don't ask me why I feel like this
[E] _
[B] Hell, I can't say
[E] I only wish this feeling [F#] would [B] just go away
I guess it's cause the [E] truth
Is the hardest thing I ever faced
Cause you can't change the truth
[F#] In the slightest word [C] of reason
I tried, [B] _ _
[E] _ _ [B] so I asked myself
I said, John, _
[E] where are you going [B] from here?
_ Then like a fool, I turned around
[F#] I looked in the mirror
And [B] there I was sitting
[E] An old [B] violin
_ Soon to be put away
[F#] And never played [B] again
So _ _ _
[E] _ _ [B] one more time, just to be sure
I said, John, _
[E] where in the [B] hell are you going from here?
_ _ And you know, there [F#] wasn't a nickel's worth of difference
When I looked in the mirror
_ Cause there [B] I was sitting
[E] An old [B] violin
_ Soon to be put away
[F#] And never [B] played again
Just like that it hit me
[E] Why that old [B] violin and I, we're just alike
_ We'll give her all the music
[F#] And soon, we'll give our life
[B] _ Precious memories
How they linger _ _ _ _
[F#] _ [B] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
