_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Well, _ _ I was passing by a pawn [D] shop over in the older part of town when [A] something caught my eye.
I [A#m] stopped and I turned [G#] around and I went [Bm] inside and there [D] I spied in the middle of it all
_ [A]
this beat up old guitar _ [F#] hanging on the wall.
_ _ [Bm] What do you want for that piece [D] of junk, I asked the old man.
[A] He just smiled and he took it down [F#] and he put it in my hand and he said, [Bm] you tell me
what it's worth, son.
[D] You're the one that wants it.
He [A] said, tune it up, play a song, [F#] let's just see what haunts it.
_ _ [B] _ _ [G#] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ So I hit a couple of chords in my [D] old country way of strumming and [A] then my fingers turned
to lightning, man, [A#] I never saw it coming.
It was [Bm] like I always knew [D] it, but I don't know where I learned it.
It [A] was a dream come true, so [F#] I just reared back and burned it. _

_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
I [Bm] lost all track of time.
There [G] was nothing I couldn't pick.
_ [A] Up and down the neck, man, [F#] I never missed a lick.
It was [Bm] like that guitar played itself [G] and there was nothing I could [D]
do.
[A] It was getting hard to tell just who was [F#] playing who.
_ [A] When I [Bm] finally finished, _ [D] I was _ half [A] scared to death and my hands were shaking [F#] and my
shirt was soaking wet and the old [Bm] man jumped up and he [A] grinned and he said, [D] where in the
hell you been?
[E] He said, I've been waiting all these [F#] years for you to stumble in.
And then he grabbed an old wore out case and he [D] said, go on, man, pack it up.
He said, [E] you don't owe me nothing.
_ [A#] But when he said good luck, [F#] there was something spooky in [G] his voice [A] and [G] a strange look on his [D] face.
[A] And when I closed the lid, I saw [F#] my name was on that case. _ _ _ _ _ _

[D#] I'll be back in about _ 15 minutes.
