The Old Violin Chords by Johnny Paycheck

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