Em G Well he threw one down from the top of the stairs Am C D Beautiful women were standing everywhere Em G They all got wet when he smashed that thing Am D G But off in the dark you could hear somebody sing
[Chorus]
Am Em Oh it breaks my heart to see those stars G C D Em Smashing a perfectly good guitar Am Em D I don't know who they think they are G C D Em Smashing a perfectly good guitar

Em G It started back in 1963 Am C D His momma wouldn't buy him that new red harmony Em G He settled for a sunburst with a crack Am D G But he's still trying to break his momma's back
[Chorus]
Am Em Oh it breaks my heart to see those stars G C D Em Smashing a perfectly good guitar Am Em D I don't know who they think they are G C D Em Smashing a perfectly good guitar

Em G He loved that guitar just like a girlfriend Am C D But every good thing comes to an end Em G Now he just sits in his room all day Am D G Whistling every note he ever played

Em G Late at night the end of the road Am C D He wishes he still had that old guitar to hold Em G He'd rock it like a baby in his arms Am D G Never let it come to any harm
[Chorus]
