INTRO

A5         E5        G5    D5    C5    E5

A5         E5    D5   G5    D5    C5     D5

E5         D5         E5

          E5                     G5
Well he threw one down form the top of the stairs
 A5                     C5          D5
beautiful women were staning everywhere
      E5                    G5
they all got wet when he smahed that thing 
     A5                        D5             G5
but off in the dark you could hear somebody sing

        A5               E5
oh it breaks my heart to see those stars
  G5          C5        D5       G5
smashing a perfectly good guitar
    A5                  E5
i don;t know who they think they are
  D5           G5        C5     D5
smashing a perfectly good guitar

E5          D5         E5
E5          D5         E5


it started back in 1963
his momma wounlt buy him
that new red harmony
he settled fgor a sunburt with a crack
but he's still trying to break his momma's back.

chorus

Solo  Guitar - Same Chords as intro.

he loved that guitar just like a girlfriend
but ever good thing comes to an end
now he just sits in his room all day
whistling every note he used to play

there out to be a law with no bail
smash a guitar and you go to jail
with no chance for early parole
you don;t get out till you get some soul

chorus

late at night the end of the road
he wished he still had the old guitar to hold
he'd rock it like a baby in his arms
never let it come ot any harm
