As recorded by James Taylor (From the 1974 Album WALKING MAN) [Intro] E7 B7 E7 [Verse 1]
E7
Me and my guitar, always in the same mood.

E7
I am mostly flesh and bones and he is mostly wood.

                                                  Em11
Never does grow impatient for the changes I don't know, no.
N.C. If he can't go to heaven, maybe, I don't want to go, Lord. [Verse 2]
E7                                             N.C.
Picture me in the key of E, call me Uncle John.

E7
Any fool can easily see that we go back a long time.

E7
Feel something like fine to me, there's no such thing as the wrong time.

   N.C.                                                         E
He hops up on my knee, singing, get down, Pops, it's song time.
[Bridge]

  Every now and then I'm a lonely man, it's nice to know that I've got a friend.

         F#/G#                  C#m7 B7                             A7
Puts his power right in my hand,     all I've got to do is the best I can, if I can.
[Interlude] E7 A7 E7 [Verse 3]
E7                                        N.C.
Got a dog named David, got a bird named Dinah,

E7
got a birthmark on my thigh in the shape of Mainland China.

E7
Got a somewhat southern accent cause I come from Carolina,
N.C. and if you want to find us, we'll be walking right behind you. [Bridge]
E             F#/G#       C#m7                   F#m7  B  E
  I hear horns,    I hear voices, I hear strings,

                F#/G#              C#
Seems I was born     with too many choices.

    B7                         A7
Now what am I going to do with all these extra things,

A7
as they serve to confuse me, really.
[Outro]
     E7                                         Bm7  A  7
It's me and my guitar, essentially me and my guitar.

    E7
Oh, maybe a few friends fall by for tea, a little bit of 'who do you love?'

E7
But pay no attention to the man behind the curtain, it's me and my guitar.

E7
Having fun, boogie-woogie, uh-huh, me and my guitar, me and my guitar...
