Well, I was passing by a pawn shop over in the older [D] part of town when [A] something caught
my eye and I [F#] stopped and I turned around and I [Bm] went 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 of [D] junk?
I asked the old man and he [A] just smiled and he took it down and [F#] he put it in my hand and
he [Bm] said, you tell me what it's worth, son.
[D] You're the one who wants it.
I [A] said, tune it up, play a song, [F#] let's just see what haunts it.
[Bm] [Bm]
[A] [D] [F#] [Bm] So I hit a couple of chords [D] in my old country way of strumming [A] and then my fingers turned
to [A#] lightning and I never heard it coming.
It [Bm] was like I always knew it but I [D] don't know where I learned it.
It [A] was a dream come true so I [F#] just reared back and burned [Bm] it.

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