Chords

[Intro] E A x3 [Verse 1]
B                 A
Remind me to tell you

A        B
Bout the old silver miner

        G
Name of hard rock Pete

        A
Had his house built on a slope

B        A           B
They say one of his legs

B
Lived in Calico

          G
There’s a rumour going round

        A
That the other lived in hope

     D
So I walked in the room

C     D
And I stopped

C  F
I turned around

           G
And looked over my shoulder

      D      C    D             C
And a voice close beside me said

      F
You'd better watch your head

    G
The party's over
[Chorus]
E          A         E   A
Somebody stole my guitar

E                     A               E   A
They took it from the back seat of my car
[Verse 2]
B                 A
It wasn't long before

A        B
The waitress came over and said

        G
Can I freshen up your drink

             A
And have you heard of these boys

           B
And if you feel inclined

A   B
To buy some cowboy boots

          G
Well it's not that bad

        A
We can talk above the noise

D           C     D   C
So I sucked on my beer

F
Shut my eyes

             G
And tried to listen to the words

  D      C          D       C
I know I missed the meaning

        F
But the message

                  G
Was something I'd already heard
[Chorus]
E          A         E   A
Somebody stole my guitar

E                     A               E   A
They took it from the back seat of my car
[Instrumental] D F C D x3 D F G D A F G x2 [Verse 3]
B      A       B
Johnny Ringo's voice

B
Is getting deeper

   G
And now he's going to put

        A
Another lock on the door

    B                    A
The night is getting later

B
My head is getting lighter

    G
The mood is getting darker

   A
Tequila's being poured

D           C     D
So I smile at the old gunslinger

        F
In his frame on the wall

      G
As he pushed back his hat

         D   C      D
And it's all coming back

           F
I'd cut a long story short

         G
But it's much too late for that
[Chorus]
E          A         E   A
Somebody stole my guitar

E                     A               E   A
They took it from the back seat of my car
[Outro]
E                 A
I was sleeping in Memphis

E           A
In my hotel room

E            A           E   A
And somebody stole my guitar
E A x2
