Chords for Old Violin - Johnny Paycheck

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