B/D# X64444X D/E X77777X D/C 8X7777X [Verse 1] |Em |Em |Em |Em | |D |D |D |D |
         Em
Down the drain pipe cross the yard and through the fence

  D                              Em
I risked a whooping every time I went

       C
'Cause white boys weren't allowed

       G
On the colored side of town

          Am
But I was proud to call

                      B
That old black man my friend

         Em
He had a pillow by the bed he used to pray on

      D                            Em
And a beat up old guitar he let me play on

       C
I knew where my fingers went

         G
From his greasy fingerprints

             Am
Yeah, he was passing on

                        B7
What was handed down to him
[Chorus]
       C                                     G
And it soaked up all the blood and sweat and teardrops

        D                                Em
And the beers he missed in smokey little bars

    C                                 G
And sometimes that old man he comes a live in my hands

           Am                            B
I feel the beating of his sad old broken heart

C                   D                 Em             D/E    Em
Just like there's a ghost in this gui ta-a-a-a-ar    a-ar   a-ar
A ghost in this

[Verse 2]
          Em
Well, the night before he died he made me take it

   D                                      Em
He said, "You play it now, 'cause I gotta go"

          C                             G
And I can feel him in my fingers when I play it

            Am
'Cause some times I'm in control

         B                B/D#
And some times I just sit back

            Em    D/E   Em
And let him go    oh    oh
Sit back and let him guitar:
|D      |D      |D      |D       |
 go                            ho!
|Em |Em |Em |Em | |D |D |B |B |
       C                                     G
And it soaked up all the blood and sweat and teardrops

        D                                Em
And the beers he missed in smokey little bars

    C                                 G
And sometimes that old man he comes a live in my hands

           Am                            B
I feel the beating of his sad old broken heart

C                   D                 Em             D/E    Em
Just like there's a ghost in this gui ta-a-a-a-ar    a-ar   a-ar

                    C      D/C
