C                           Am 
This guitar only sings the way I play it
   C                             Am
It's part of me, just like another arm
    F                           G
It started out as a little ukulele
   Am           G          C
When I was just a boy on the farm 

[Verse]
   C                         Am 
My fingers were too lazy for piano
    C                          Am
But I could hold a tune pretty good
       F                           G
And I couldn't sing a song with a trombone
     Am               G                  C
So I taught myself to play this piece of wood 

[Chorus]
      Am                     F
But I know you are staying beside me
            G             C
True lovers we both feel the pain
     Am                        F
And I'd throw this old box on the fire
                 G         C
Before I'd ever lose you again

[Verse]
             C                           Am
Well you never did like this old guitar  did you darling 
           C                           Am
Cause the guitar takes your man away from you
       F                           G
One day I'll write a song for you darling
   Am           G          C
That'll be the very best that I can do 

[Verse]
C                           Am
Will it be a song about a wild wind
C                              Am
With thunderclap and flashes of blue
F                           G
Or will it be a song about an angel
Am           G          C
It'll never be as beautiful as you 

[Verse]
C                           Am
This guitar only sings the way I play it
C                           Am
It's part of me, just like another arm
F                           G
It started out as a little ukulele
Am           G          C
When I was just a boy on the farm 

[Verse]
C                           Am
But now I am a man with a woman
C                           Am
The words I wanna say won't come through
F                           G
No matter where this guitar's gonna take us
Am           G          C
It'll never be as beautiful as you
